Thanks a lot, Ilia.

Could you -or anyone- give me some link/point me in the right
direction to learn how to do that?

And is there something I can do to fix (help to fix) completely this issue/bug?

Thanks again.

I've been researching more and it seems that I'm already in that case.
The freezes appears randomly, in every situation, and not when I
launch some 3D applications or anything similar.

There are the proprietary drivers available for debian, but I really
prefer not to use them, and provide any useful information that could
help to fix this issue with Nouveau.

Please let me know if there's something I can do.

Thanks a lot

Unfortunately everyone thinks it's hilarious to use OpenGL for basic
drawing tasks nowadays. Things like GTK and Qt will randomly use GL
now. There is no more "things are fine as long as I don't use 3D"
--
everything is 3D now.

Try removing nouveau_dri.so -- that will ensure no 3d accel is used,
while keeping your 2d accel provided by the nouveau ddx.
