The nouveau driver has never been well supported. It remains buggy for
years even for old hardware so the outlook is not great there. If you
would like to debug the nouveau driver then it lives in the Linux kernel
at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau

The other information I've been referring to comes from these pages:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.11

Nvidia has never supported their own chips for more than a few years and
your Samsung machine appears to be 11 years old. You would have less
trouble if the machine had AMD or Intel graphics. Otherwise if you use
Nvidia you will either need newer hardware or to stay on an older OS
like Ubuntu 20.04.
