You are completely right - plasma does expect OpenGL to do what is expected
from the specs. I don't think GNOME pushes the limits as far. And I would
use GNOME if it suited my needs - which I'm quite sure my last mail made
abundantly clear that it doesn't.
Still, can't really blame plasma. That's like blaming a racing engine when
it explodes on shitty fuel. The culprit is (unfortunately) Nouveau, no
matter how much I wish it weren't so. And I wish it a whole heap.

Definitely Nouveau. I tried (really hard) to stick to proper open-source

proprietary and never again had a lockup. Ever.
And there are plenty of other users on the interwebs with the same sad
story.
That may very well be true, but it's certainly not the rule. I've been
using Nouveau on Linux on a GTX 960, and I haven't had a single problem
with GNOME.
Perhaps the combination is the problem; nouveau + Plasma may have issues.
