On the matrix chat Nils mentioned that "im on nvidia 550 atm and on
wayland. i had some X11 crashes in the past and wayland does a much
better job so far"

So, I changed my session type to Wayland by logging out and using the
gear by my username to select wayland. Doing that seems to have an issue
with "Settings", clicking the setting gear or running `gnome-control-
center` resulted in a segfault. I did some googling, and saw that this
might be a nvidia driver issue, so I upgraded my drivers from `nvidia-
driver-350` to `nvidia-driver-550`.

After a reboot the segfault in `gnome-control-center` went away, and the
logout crash also seems to be gone as well. I tested it by letting the
screen dim, waiting 10 minutes, and then pressing a few keys. Instead of
crashing it went right back to my session.

Of course it would be nice if crashes didn't occur in the out-of-the-box
Ubuntu 24.04 install, but in this case there seems to be a simple
solution: Use Wayland and 550 drivers.
