Hello @GitRASQ, please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report. In particular, if you can find any CrashIDs or minidumps related to this issue, please include them.

some stuff I found in /tmp/dumps that looks like it may be relevant:
tmp-dumps.zip
I have 5 coredumps in /var/lib/systemd/coredump/ but they're 60-90MB. Do you want these?
For reference, in the attached set, crash_20171109231219_1.dmp (CrashID=bp-632e5011-21c9-4d3c-957d-820662171110) and crash_20171110152555_1.dmp (CrashID=bp-d646de83-ef9d-4676-95dc-9679b2171110) are a SIGABRT in linux-gate.so, the others are DUMP_REQUESTED in crashhandler.so.
Let's hold off on core dumps for now. Just a guess, but can you try completely closing steam, then run STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 steam in a terminal and see if this affects the issue's behavior?
The crashes still occur, sometimes when I connect the controller as well. I don't remember that happening before.
I got these messages dozens of times:
process 28566: arguments to dbus_connection_ref() were incorrect, assertion "connection->generation == _dbus_current_generation" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2656.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
process 28566: arguments to dbus_connection_unref() were incorrect, assertion "connection->generation == _dbus_current_generation" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2794.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
I also get this whenever I press center button and triangle:
(steam:29183): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_error_free: assertion 'error != NULL' failed
steam output when crashing:

I'm experiencing the exact same issue (Kernel: 5.2.0-arch2-1-ARCH) using steam-runtime: shutting off my DS4 v2 with PS + Triangle while connected via Bluetooth crashes Steam with a ~ 50% "success rate". Feel free to ask for additional information and I'll supply what I can.
Hello @GargleBlaster259, can you check if you're still experiencing this issue on an up to date system?
"Fix crash caused by audio cards with no active port set" in the 2019-07-16 Steam client update may have had an effect for Dualshock 4 users.
Nothing extracted yet.
Arch Linux & Solus 3
Shutting off my Dualshock 4 controller by holding the center button and pressing triangle causes steam to crash. Reproducible about half of the time. This doesn't happen when the controller is connected with USB, only bluetooth.
