There's a simple solution. Open up your drivers Nvidia, like Intel and AMD have done.

Ubuntu has an installer that largely works. I just went through trying to install Bazzite (fedora), it insisted that I needed another -890GB of space. At best, I managed to get to where it errored out at the end of another install attempt, and left a broken grub setup.
I just tried installing Bazzite on a desktop, and its installer is a hot mess. The most I could get out of it was an error screen at the end, and an unbootable OS. Grub's config file was just an error message. I couldn't make heads or tails of how its ostree mess was ever supposed to boot, so I moved on to Debian.

Do the sysreq sometime when your system isn't hung. If it isn't enabled, welp you have to enable it harder.
Having ssh set up would be a way in when the whole graphics stack falls over (but the kernel is still alive in there). On intel there are /sys entries to dump GPU state, ATI probably has something similar. You have a reproducible bug, if you can get in and grab data while the gpu is in la-la-land, you might be able to submit a valuable bug report.
If you're RDPing from a malicious client, how do you know what you're seeing is real? How do you know that your viewer didn't show the same screen for just a little too long while the host popped up a cmd, curl, run, close, continue in the background? How do you know that closing your session isn't "forwarding it to someone else for a bit, but they'll close it when they're done"? One time you start a session, verify it with your phone, waiting waiting waiting, an error occurred try again. Did it fail, or did it go to someone else?
There's another patient who didn't get the toe amputation, and gangrene spread to where he lost the entire leg and 80% of his kidney function. This one did not thank acupuncture for his outcome.
This one very famous case of a guy who got very lucky, and ended up alive and uncrippled and didn't have to take time off from perpetual dialysis treatments to smile for magazine covers maybe doesn't represent what generally happens to people in his situation.
Tim Cook reads every single LOC submitted to his OS.
Use Trixie instead of Sid. With Sid you're getting new packages right as they come out of the oven. If Sid users don't get burned too badly, the packages go into Trixie two weeks later.
They don't allow you to install other OSes?
The worst thing that Valve has done is "the main kernel tree hasn't gotten around to merging some of the Deck's EC bits yet". You could run Batocera or Bazzite on your deck today if you want. You probably don't want to, those distros aren't as good an experience as SteamOS yet.
