    I've recently had so many random freezes of the system, hangs on shutdown, panics on shutdown, freezes in system updates, that hard reset became a thing I did several times a day. Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.

    I was skeptical in blaming Nvidia because at this point it became a Linux chiche, but then I started to switch to integrated graphics (disabling dGPU) and all of the problems miraculously went away.

    this is pretty typical for hard crashes, ur system is so unbelievably fucked up that it can't even write to journal, and if it could, it wouldn't be persisted anyway (hard shutdown)

    Same. I use nVidia on Wayland, and experience more crashes and panics than when using the iGPU. With older versions of the driver, I could consistently trigger a crash when exiting an app which used the discrete GPU (such as Steam), or by switching between a game and Firefox.

    NVIDIA definitely has stability issues, newest drivers still kernel panic on resume from suspend. Only thing more you can do is try to capture debug logs with nvidia-bug-report.sh (I go in during a crash via SSH, usually the system is still responsive for a little while after), and post it to the NVIDIA Linux forums. They do actually seem to use the feedback there, NVIDIA reps respond from time to time and say they've submitted bug reports from the feedback. Otherwise, after that yeah you just do what you have to do for a usable system and wait...

    Had this issue for ages. Ditched Nvidia a month ago and now everything just works.
