Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you. Another reminder to give the big chains the flick where possible.

Hard to know. Will the interface be specific to driver versions? Will it require an updated kernel driver for each userspace driver as it does now? I don’t know that we have the answers.

Worth noting that Nvidia only intends to open source the kernel driver. This is only half the driver, as a userspace blob will still be required, and that will remain closed and proprietary.

People hate change. And even now, IPv6 support in new devices can be hit-or-miss. Even most cellular networks in my country don’t support IPv6.

It would be worth looking through your journal. There is usually some amount of logging even in the event of a hardware issue. See journalctl.

As others suggest, does sound related to sleep / suspend. If that is the case, you could have a problem like I did where my motherboard BIOS incorrectly reports usb capabilities which results in an immediate resume from sleep. That abrupt change causes the amdgpu driver to crash, and the system hangs soon after. My workaround is to disable features on the offending usb host controller.
