Screenshot of the Blender window glitching
I should add another detail to the discussion. I know this may be a separate
issue which might have nothing to do with the crash, but at the same time I
wouldn't be surprised if it does: Glitched graphics often indicate something
going wrong with the display, such as corrupt textures in video memory, whi=

may ultimately lead to just such a lockup.
On occasion, certain programs (namely Firefox and Blender) glitch out and d=

broken rectangles all over the window. Some of those glitches are just boxe=
s of
random colors, others contain pieces of past images (for instance I saw
patterns from my lock screen background). Sometimes they quickly disappear =

their own, at other times I have to restart the program as it becomes illeg=

and unusable. If I move anything the squares flicker all over the place. The
glitches continue even after I disable desktop effects, thus KDE compositing
should have nothing to do with it.
Attached is a screenshot of the glitch happening in Blender, showing its wi=

this may be an unrelated issue, but I'm wondering whether it indicates some
video storage corruption that's also leading up to the lockups.
