Maybe record a video of your screen then, when it crashes put the video here.

It'll make it easier to find out how to reproduce it

Problem is that the crash happens every few days and I haven't been able to figure out the circumstances.

Constantly recording my screen is not really viable, I think, and I don't know of a system that only keeps the last minute when recording.

I'll see what I can do, though.

I recommend trying Asciinema: https://asciinema.org/

It records your terminal session in an extremely lightweight text format
