Not sure if it will work for everyone here, but I've had this fucking problem (Yes I was annoyed. It's been months now.) and I think I may have finally cracked the code. For me at least.

So I disabled steam and librewolf's hardware acceleration. And for a week now it's been deafeningly silence on how smooth and no freezing the computer is. No matter the minor or huge Mesa updates were the freezing never stopped until this solution.

Downside is, no hardware acceleration. So scrolling isn't very smooth on some websites. But other than that it's working great. I'll take it over system freeze anytime.

My best guess of what causes the problem:
This Issue happens when xwayland runs in the background or you're using xorg instead of wayland and then you have a program that has hardware acceleration on.

Isn't mesa a 3d accelerator?

You still should get something in dmesg, is there any module/driver/library segfault/crash in there? If the system isn't recoverable after the crash, it should still write something to dmesg, but NEXT REBOOT will overwrite that, so you should boot off usb w/ iso and check if there's any clue.

What is this 'brave' that segfaults? Browser or some kernel process named the same?

I am 99% sure this is effect, not cause, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look at this AMD core dump.

segfault when starting steam, it just insta crashed. I'll try to induce a kwin crash by playing gmod or something.

Can you figure out what crashed in that quote in my previous post "[   59.968275] brave[2300]: segfault at cfa0fb80000..." and similar?

I had ton of problems before, with steam starting but games crashing, all due to missing lib32-vulkan-nouveau. I have one of those hybrid laptops with AMD and Nvidia so probably not applicable in your case.
