That sucks. Fedora should be prioritizing having working drivers in spite
of the upheavel going on with the underpinnings. Hopefully the board will
try to help here.

As an individual you have some bad choices:
Stay with F11 (possibly even after it is out of support).
Switch to another distribution.
Use the vesa driver and have slow graphics.
Live with frequent crashes.

If you stick with Fedora, making sure there are bugs filed with adequate
documentation for the various graphics card will at least make someone aware
of the problem. Participating in the appropriate test days provides another
chance to get the attention of a graphics driver developer and the possibility
of fast turn around for testing possible fixes might help. Bringing the issue
up with the board may encourage them to be more proactive in dealing with
this problem with Fedora.
