Yes, it seems to have improved the uptime. (Currently NixOS unstable with Kernel 6.8.7 and Nvidia 550.76). What is also weird is that when it crashes, the xattr output in the log is gone. I don't see there anymore the reason of the crash.

The currently last comment there is that his/her crashes stopped when using the Open kernel module. I did not try that, but I will when the system crashes again.

With the open kernel module I did not have any crashes so far. I was using the laptop yesterday for 3 hours in the evening after switching, and today so far 6 hours uptime.
Immediately after switching I had a crash in the browser which nearly took down KDE, but according to the log it was in libbrotli and the system recovered without me needing to reset it. But this probably has nothing to do with current topic.
