I don't know about stefan11111, but in the past, I got various issues
with the nouveau drivers, and AFAIK, they were never fixed:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nouveau/-/issues/23
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nouveau/-/issues/202
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nouveau/-/issues/534

The Nvidia proprietary drivers did not have such issues.
