I upgraded from Debian 10 to Debian 12.5 "Bookworm." The NVidia 390
driver no longer works, so I had software rendering because nouveau
apparently can't do GPU rendering. Rather than crashing, the system
essentially froze. After waiting for a VERY long time, I would give up
and cycle power, with my reboot set up to start an empty session, not
the one I had going at time of the power cycle. I replaced the graphics
card with a Quadro K2200, which works with the nvidia-drivers package
that's still part of the Debian 12.5 distro. With GPU rendering, I no
longer have the problem.
My only issue is random system freezes seemingly caused by the browser.
I remembered that that was the reason I installed the nvidia 470 driver.
on originally Bookworm -> Trixie with Vivaldi browser it was stable.
This fresh install of Trixie has had system freeze with firefox
with nouveau driver. Less so (touch wood) with Vivaldi.
There was a message while I was fiddling about that the
nvidia Quadro K4000 is not supported by something or other.
Perhaps I should invest in a newer graphics card.
