    I've stopped my attempts to make "nouveau" work a long time ago and
    never looked back.
    It is not finished, it lacks so much even basic functionality and
    now that developers are abandoning the project, it probably will
    stay in development hell forever.

    Why not? For your GTX 660 it is as simple as "# apt install
    nvidia-driver".
    I have GTX1060 6Gb and it works great. Zero pain\crashes\freezes
    with OS and no problems with other software.
