I had one or two crashes in the two years of frequent use (few times a week for multiple hours) on arch linux, lately I've been using weekly appimages and they crash a lot more.

I've always used the stable AppImages, on Fedora previously, Bazzite now, the crashes have reduced, but they're still frequent, especially (but not exclusively) when working on large assemblies.

I think that it's under very active development right now so that's might be the source of the instability. IIRC there are alternative assembly workbenches that are more stable.
