Turn off nvidia graphic card?
Ok so i found a way, a pretty easy one indeed, to do it. You have to install nvidia drivers. You could say that it easy, and you would be wrong. It needs an old nvidia version that is not supported. The graphic card is an nvidia gt 330M which means you need nvidia driver 340.x version. But that version, if you try to install from nvidia page, doesn't work with linux kernel higher than 4.4. So i found this https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy . This repository has a version of that nvidia driver with support for 5.10+ kernel. So you just have to install the .run and then use nvidia-smi -i 0000:xx:00.0 -pm 0 where xx is your nvidia card pci ID (you can find it with lspci | grep NVIDIA. After that you will have your graphic card turned off.

Desktop Freezing.
Boot with nouveau and then download the 340.108 branch from here (you’ll need some dev tools and kernel-headers/source installed), build yourself the driver and reboot.

Nvidia and Nouveau
I really wish nouveau were in a better state. I have a positively ancient laptop with a 8600M nvidia chipset that just will not reliably operate with the nouveau driver.
Instead, I have to use https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy to patch and install the proprietary drivers.

AMD ROCm Going Open-Source: Will Include Software and Hardware Documentation
> I do love AMD because its drivers are open source as opposed to nVidia.
AMD's drivers are not really more open that Nvidia's. Similar to Nvidia's Open GPU Kernel Module's[0], AMD's opensource drivers are mostly a shim that wrap firmware blobs[1] in which the functionality you really care about is contained.

Red Hat to Author New Linux Driver for Nvidia GPUs in Rust
My understanding is that nowadays most of the heavy lifting is done by magic going on in the firmware, so the actual driver is relatively simple and is open source: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules
