PSA: It's Recommended To Avoid Using The Open-Source NVIDIA Driver (e.g. Nouveau) On Kernel 6.3

It's recommended to avoid using the open-source NVIDIA 'Nouveau' graphics driver on the current stable Linux 6.3 series as there is a serious bug present that could cause varying issues to your system.

There is a use-after-free issue within the Nouveau DRM kernel driver and it can cause corruption of kernel memory. Use-after-free issues are also a potential security vulnerability but it's possible this corrupted kernel memory could lead to file-system corruption or other system issues.

  • I would avoid that nVidia open source driver anyway. Sadly the proprietary one has been better in my experience.
