I am experiencing the same issue. I am using a very old machine: it's an Acer T180 with a NVIDIA GT710 graphics card (driver nvidia-460) and an AMD Athlon 5600+. The process causing the crash is /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session. I will try to switch to Nouveau and Wayland and report back.

After logging in and using PyCharm for a while, the system froze, and I had to do a REISUB. It turned out to be a kernel panic and seems related to Xorg and the i915 driver. This has now happened multiple times, and not all crashes have happened while using PyCharm. I've tried using the ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa to install a new kernel (5.8.0-26-generic) but that did not help.
