Well, I haven’t yet tried actually using it.
It seems supertuxkart can reliably freeze Plasma.
After starting entering a game, the screen briefly freezes, then Plasma displays “Desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset” accompanied by following logs:
[ 2346.824555] msm_dpu 1a01000.display-controller: [drm:hangcheck_handler [msm]] *ERROR* 5.0.6.0: hangcheck detected gpu lockup rb 2!

[ 2346.825920] msm_dpu 1a01000.display-controller: [drm:hangcheck_handler [msm]] *ERROR* 5.0.6.0: submitted fence: 59494

The game will run, but Plasma remains frozen.
The only fix is to SSH into the phone and restart plasmashell using systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.
Web browsing mostly works, though in this case, the phone only handles YouTube playback up to 480p.
Oh, one more interesting observation: Cloudflare CAPTCHA causes Firefox to freeze with 100% CPU usage (single-core). So entering websites like lemmy.world is not possible.

Interesting, the Cloudflare CAPTCHA works for me, but I’m on the Fairphone 5. I haven’t tried supertuxcart but minecraft (java) works pretty well. Youtube works for me, but that might be because of missing hardware acceleration drivers on your phone.
