I don’t know if that is a related bug, but I have a long-standing similar issue, that I reported here. As I explained on that thread, I cannot simply download binaries and run them (even if they are mostly self-contained), so I can only try the latest packaged version of Anki. Thankfully, my distribution is keeping up the pace, so the latest version packaged is current 2.1.52 (and basically all it does is fetch the binaries and setup them in a way that they can be ran).
My issue, however, is much more sever than just crashing: Anki sometimes crash, but sometimes literally kills my GPU. I can still connect to my computer via ssh, but the display will just freeze until hard reboot.
