Well I've been using my newly installed fedora 26 boot partition for all of a half day, and the nouveau driver just completely froze up the display (exactly the same thing that happened on fedora 24 with nouveau). I guess I'm off to look through the logs for any info and then install the rpmfusion nvidia binaries.
I'm having the same problem with Wayland enabled.
Although I don't get the error message in this link, it might be the same bug. I have one of the affected graphics cards.

But as far as I know.. The compatibility maybe depend on graphics card vendor's customization.... Once upon a time I 've got a piece of nv card by GIGABYTE, and the CUDA driver can only run as expected on Fedora 23/24, but not Ubuntu or even CentOS.
Feel like dying with driving the graphics card on Linux....

Yes, I AGREE!
But one of the key features upon NV cards is CUDA, which we cannot use it on other platforms. Though OpenCL is another solution to achieve GPGPU resolutions, but it is hard to learn and hard to use, at least, for me..

No, that's just the problem with NVidia cards. Use an AMD or Intel graphics and you're very unlikely to have a problem.

I can't use cuda on fedora either, because gcc that comes with fedora is way too recent for cuda. I'm not sure now, but about a year ago gcc-5.2 was the highest version cuda would tolerate, and that was experimental. Regularly it wanted gcc 4.9 I think. Don't know now, but I doubt cuda will like gcc-7.x.

Maybe a good way to work around such issues is to use a docker container?

Oh, excellent suggestion! I didn't know they provide docker images. Thanks!
I did find some messages in the log, so I added this bug:

I started to have this problem in F25 (after some recent upgrade, not from the beginning) but it seems gone (knock on wood) in F26.
I'm having the same problem at work on an Ubuntu workstation (16.04 I think?) but only when using gnome (or mate). No problems yet under Unity. So perhaps something in gnome triggers the crash in nouveau.
The whole system doesn't crash, only the X-server (or wayland) and you can ssh into the system from another machine and run dmesg. The last things you see are nouveau error messages.
