The same car mod term in the 50s was 'hotrodding'.
People are mentioning 'OOM Killer' which may have similar features, I have not tried it out.
I've had this on previous laptops, and gave up on using Sleep mode, just used full shutdown every time.
Once fully frozen, it's not really able to be saved.
Is it a full freeze? Press CAPS-LOCK or NUM-LOCK to see if the hardware is still responding.
If it is, it might just be a DE freeze. Try to SSH into into your frozen device, from another PC or phone.
Or press CTRL-ALT-F7 to see if you can switch to a terminal and login.
Once in, use ps -ef, or top to see and kill what might be causing a freeze.
Turn on auto-save in LibreOffice(you usually only lose a sentence or 3 words with this on).
Investigate IDEs with auto-backup or an autosaved change-history.

To diagnose whether you have bad RAM, boot from a LiveUSB distro and use it for a day or week.
If no freezes, reinstall a fresh OS.
If it still freezes, get new RAM, or replace whole PC/laptop.
It is an incredible solo-effort, with largely simplistic features.
As a usable OS, it's a fever-dream curiosity.
Trisquel is a fully 'Free as in freedom' distro.
Zero telemetry now or in the future.
Ubuntu based, so large FLOSS package repository.
Mate UI, simple user friendly layout.
* You will need hardware that works with fully free hardware drivers (for printer, WiFi, GPU etc). Drivers with binary-blobs are not included, due to potential security risks or spyware.
Test your hardware with a bootable USB.
Thanks for sharing this moment about the Q&A.
The lack of self-awareness about how ghoulish, and close to grave robbing these 'reanimations' are is concerning. Glad to hear that museum professionals are not entertaining it for a moment.
Fully free distro list
If you know how to source hardware that uses fully-free drivers, they are worth a look.
Guix and Parabola also look interesting.
You probably didn't even know it's pronounced Jimp too!!
