The most common reasons for crashes are outdated graphics drivers with bugs and/or hardware below the minimum requirements [1]. If you think you've found a bug in Blender please report your issue on the bug tracker [2] (Help > Report a Bug in Blender).

Indeed I have actually tracked and posted a few bug reports on the blender forums. I'm running an AMD 5700XT and an R5 3600 so I sure hope my configuration is supported! My only concession is that I had to download the "optional" driver for august in order to get Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 support.

Thank you for reporting bugs and helping improve Blender! Every AMD graphics card that is GCN first generation or later can be used for running Blender [1]. GCN second generation or later is required for GPU rendering [2]. Unfortunately the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT does seems to be affected by some technical issues, that are still under investigation. Might be a bug in Blender or an issue with particular OS, hardware and driver combinations. See ticket T75319 for updates on this problem.
