Not 100% what the OP was after, but I have discovered an issue that would fit fine under this heading.
Both with the 64bit and 32bit version I have the problem that OpenCPN freezes up when launched, more or less out of the box (after the installs obviously...).
OpenCPN and the SignalK "node" process share all the available CPU time when that happens. Killing OpenCPN *and* node resolves the problem.
Upon re-launch OpenCPN offers to run with plugins disabled. The problem is clearly triggered by the Dashboard.
I'd like to use the Dashboard. Is there a way to configure this to work? I guess there is.

As an aside, if you go to Options>User Interface, what Language do you have selected in the top box?
Yes that´s after the freeze.
The Language field is emty (see screenshot).
Now I changed the language to english. But it crash again.

What if you disable the dashboard plugin, close down OpenCPN then start it. Without the dashboard enabled is it stable with no freezing?
If it's stable then enable dashboard (but don't start it from the task bar), again close down and restart, is it stable then?
Now select the dashboard to display it, is this when it fails?
Have you tried with and without OpenGL? (Options>Advanced, Graphics radio button)
If you open a terminal and run htop while the freeze is happening what does the CPU/memory consumption look like?
The short answer is: the "Flatpack Version: 5.8.4" Version it works.
Only the "Debian/Ubuntu Version: 5.6.2" version freezes.

Without any plugin it isn´t stable. So it´s a generally OpenCPN problem, no dashboard problem.

Yes, with boath options the same problem.

memory is still low. Look at the screenshot:

. I think the log is not realy useful:
