Citiraj:
For those using the upstream open-source NVIDIA Linux driver "Nouveau", with a pending fix coming for Linux 6.17 and existing kernel releases it should be a much more stable and reliable experience.
Instability issues have been somewhat common for the Nouveau driver usage but up until recently were hard to track down and reproduce. Fortunately, thanks to the stellar work of Faith Ekstrand and David Airlie, they managed to now address this in large part. Faith Ekstrand explained it's been a fencing bug where the context would randomly wedge and could lead to the app/game freezing and losing your X.Org Server / compositor in the process. After many bug reports over the past year, a fix is on the way.
