Something I’m on the middle of modelling something and Blender just closes without any error messages or logs.

Hi, Blender auto save already in 2 minute interval as .blend1 in /tmp folder.
There is also a crash.txt file.
Setting is in User Preferences > File.
You can set here also path to /tmp and other path.
Start Blender from a command shell to catch error messages.

the .blend1 file is a incremental backup of your last saved file.
you can find the auto saved file in Files… Recover auto save
you can setup the interval time of this auto save in Preference… File

So that’s what are those blend1 files are for. I thought they were just cache files
