had another crash immediately after. seems like the primary trigger is
playing games in steam, especially games using the proton runtime layer
for running windows games. so it seems like something's perhaps changed
since 20.04 and now gnome-shell is intolerant of high performance vulkan
applications.

Title:
gnome-shell on 20.10 crashes all the time
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
this is probably a dupe of a bunch of other gnome-shell crashing bugs.
just noting that since upgrading to 20.10, both my systems (which use
the nvidia binary X drivers) have gnome-shell crashing multiple times
a day. it restarts fine, but while it's crashing it locks up the whole
system for a minute or two. no idea why the release in 20.10 is so
much more unstable than 20.04, but here we are.
as a starting point, how do I track down what it considers the cause
of the crashes? I can't discern anything particularly useful from
`journalctl` at first glance. is there a specific error message I can
search for in all the noise to find where it crashed and see what
happened right before that? I see a lot of these in the logs, but they
seem to be non-fatal, and they also don't print out any actual stack
traces to examine:
