Both of your reported crashes are in the AMD driver, so you may have an AMD driver issue. Have you tried different drivers? There are also several open issues here where incompatibilties between Steam and AMD drivers cause problems, so this may be a similar thing.
I just used the open source drivers and it looks like it's working so far.
Thank you for your help!

Closing as general video driver quality from 2014 is no longer relevant.
After I run the .deb, and install the missing programs, I get this when running steam in the terminal. I've looked online for similar issues, but the only issue that is close #1075 was patched a long time ago.
Here's the terminal:
