Hello dear folks.
The GPU fails to engage when I am running applications on my system. Instead it defaults to llvmpipe.
With the (deprecated) xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver I get better performance, but a lot less stability.
Edit: That was unclear - the open source driver works with the actual GPU, but it does crash (a lot).
What can I do?
Edit: I did read threads with similar issues, but none of the solutions I came across (yet) worked for me.
I learned a lot, but my issue remains.
