Sean E. O'Connor (WhiteHusky) added a comment to T83199: Blender crashes when adding a particle system to a mesh object and switching the type to Hair.

Thanks, Robert. My mistake. I'll be happy to follow this thread and test any Blender code fixes in future builds.

I would have expected the call to glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertex() to at least return an error status and not crash with a divide by 0 error. So I'd think the root cause is in AMD's driver for the GPU. Maybe a future macOS release would have an updated driver? I can see glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertex() is called multiple times to draw Blender's UI, but only seems to crash for me when adding Particle System = Hair. I'd trust the developers to know if there's any workaround possible or desirable.

It looks like AMD doesn't support updated drivers for Apple products:

I'm no expert, but it seems to be crashing in the graphics card driver.

Crashes in the same way using this daily build:
