I updated another computer with an NVidia Quadro graphics card. NVidia

I downloaded directly from NVidia, for the same reasons. And a laptop.
So they're running nouveau too (and occasionally freezing).
Does nouveau cause the freezes?
Yes with the KDE's compositor frequently.
I solved disabling the KDE compositor in SystemSetting and installing
"Picom", now rarely Picom crashs but I can restart it from the console
with the command:
~$ picom -b --config ~/.config/picom.conf
at least the system doesn't freeze anymore.
