1 year ago I am going on a limb here, but why does your whole window-manager / login-manager die, in the event picom fails?
The backtrace hints at glXGetFBConfigAttrib() in nvidia's libGL crashes.
You could try building it with debug symbols and running it manually in a terminal to check again.

1 year ago Thanks Tyrone.
I'm admittedly not the most knowledgeable when it comes to issues like this. I just figured it was picom related based on the crash logs saying picom - and the fact I didn't have these crashes prior when I used Compton. Some folks said I should use Picom instead of the older/dated Compton so here I am.
I'll keep playing around.

1 year ago The issue was not picom - but rather emoji's and a library that DWM uses. The Xft library is older on Ubuntu and has a bug where it will crash if it receives a colored emoji.
I reverted these changes and dwm / the desktop no longer crashes: https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/970f37697358574e127019eb0ee2f5725ec05ce0.html
I will be closing this - since it ended up not being related to Picom. Thanks again @tryone144 for the input and assistance!

picom --experimental-backends --config ~/.config/picom/picom.conf -bWorth noting: it appears some private messages trigger the crash, some channels, so I'm wondering if it might not be related to gifs/images that might be posted - but I can't seem to find any consistency between which channels cause the crash as it appears some images show up fine on the messages/channels I can get to.
Expected behavior
I would be able to navigate around Discord (since the application opens and runs fine in non-DWM desktop environment).
Current Behavior
Picom crashes and boots me out of the desktop environment and back to the login screen.
