Public bug reported: I'm not sure if this should instead be tagged on linux/kernel or not. Blacklisting the nouveau module keeps system going, otherwise it crashes after a short while of usage.
At some point I was lucky and managed to switch to console before the system froze completely (seems to be a second or two when it slows down before freeze). I saw some messages about the GPU freezing and switching to something else..software rendering maybe? But then everything had stopped and I could do nothing except reset.
