Desktop freezes on AMD notebook

And after many failed attempts I was able to put an end to it.

I added the kernel parameter:

amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10

… and it’s gone, for good!

In the specific case of Endeavour OS, using Dracut and systemd-boot, I added that parameter to /etc/kernel/cmdline to make the fix permanent. If using GRUB, you need to append it to /etc/default/grub instead.
