I give nouveau a chance every time I install a new fedora, eventually
(2 hours, 2 weeks, it varies) I get a video crash and frozen
desktop, then I install the rpmfusion nvidia drivers.
I don't remember how many releases ago nouveau was actually
reliable.
You can't expect perfection from reverse engineering, but open source
means you get the benefit of "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".
The previous problem I had was about a year ago caused by a simple mistake.
A patch was already available by the time I encountered the problem. The
current issue has been difficult to pin down.
From https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/213: 2 weeks ago:
A post at https://lore.kernel.org/nouveau/CACrD=+-DUomkWxe0X5M5vMFS_JijjPGNqVXuq+qimie99vmwzw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
has what seems to be a very plausible explanation for the cause of the problem,
identifies and analyzes the source code responsible, and provides patches inline
and via links. Can these be reviewed and if acceptable merged into the project?

It is sad how many people switch to proprietary drivers or change distros rather than
helping pin down the conditions that trigger a bug and then helping test proposed fixes.
