• From the logs it also seems like OBS is not able to use the dedicated GPU and is instead using the intel iGPU.
• Did not see any specific crash log get generated either in obs-studio/logs
• The terminal output seems to have the most information about what has gone wrong hence have attached it as the log.

Start with the linked OBS log and the terminal output described in the report, then reproduce the crash using OBS 32.0.1 Flatpak on CachyOS with the listed laptop hardware. Compare whether OBS selects the dedicated GPU or Intel integrated GPU and whether the “GPU process isn't usable” error precedes the crash. Done means the cause is isolated and OBS no longer crashes in the reported setup.
