I had the same experience. Bazzite 41 or 42 (can't remember) fixed it for me.
I run cachyos. I know that they like to tweak the kernel and change numerous settings which can make gaming less stable in my specific scenario. I think I'm going to just run everything via gamescope now since I seem to have the proper flags to make it just work without oddities for me (I liked being borderless, but that causes issues with some games, so I am avoiding that now). And then see if I get any crashes. If I continue to see crashes, hopefully recoverable this time, then I may stick with linux-lts kernel instead of using cachy's.
