sway + radeon crashing

[cequalspid]

Sway is installed on arch linux directly from the repo. Using only amd open source drivers and an amd cpu. GPU is a RX 580, cpu is a Ryzen 7 3700x. Mobo is Asus B550-i. No gaming on the desktop.

The crashes happen at random times, sometimes when I am not using the desktop I return to find myself at the tty login screen.
I usually always have the following running even if I'm not active at/using my desktop:
foot terminal, ranger file manager and firefox.
docker containers are also running including HomeAssistant
Installed but not using swaylock or swayidle. Waybar and Swaync are also running. Journal shows no errors/issues with the cpu/gpu.

sway version 1.9
sway -d 2> ~/sway.log: gist-swaylog
coredumpctl info usr/bin/sway: gist-coredumpctl
sway config: gist-config
coredumpctl gdb sway and then bt full to obtain the stack trace:

The backtrace you provided doesn't contain debug symbols. This most likely happens because the Sway binary you're using doesn't have debug information bundled.

Can you try again with a manually compiled Sway binary? See https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Development-Setup#compiling-as-a-subproject

git clone https://github.com/swaywm/sway.git
cd sway
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots.git subprojects/wlroots

# Build sway and wlroots
meson build/

when running meson build/ I get the following errors:

wlroots| Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.30.0)

but /sway/subprojects/wlroots does exist from the git clone.

@cequalspid since you are running Arch Linux, you can install debuginfod and add set debuginfod enabled on to your ~/.gdbinit to get debug symbols for Arch repo packages without needing to compile it yourself.
