Gnome Black Screen with NVIDIA, Freezes with NOUVEAU

Hello,

I use Gnome with proprietary driver from NVIDIA.

A while ago  (2 months?), after an update, I started getting a problem in my desktop.
I am able to login (apparently), but after the login, I get a black screen with hthe mouse (that I can move) but can't do anything else.

If I switch to a console (ctrl+alt+F3), I'm able to login and update and everything. Just not start gnome.

I tried to replace the nvidia with nouveau, but the nouveau freezes after the login.

Could someone help me go through this to solve the issue?

If I journalctl the boot, I see the gnome-shell sigfault on libmutter...

Cheers,
Eduardo Jauch

EDIT
KDE Plasma and XFCE works.

Try to use Gnome with XWindows and not Wayland?
