I actually changed to nouveau because the desktop performance of |
| 12 |
nvidia-drivers sucked at the time. I still use nvidia-drivers in my |
| 13 |
media center (because of VDPAU), but in my desktop I changed about |
| 14 |
year and a half ago, and I'm pretty happy with it. |

Before that, I used nvidia-drivers for many years, and it was always |
| 17 |
full of ups and downs; some versions worked great, others were barely |
| 18 |
usable. The nouveau drivers have been consistently good, even for |
| 19 |
small 3D use (things like Blender). |

If you don't use (modern) games, I highly recommend the nouveau |
| 22 |
drivers. For a modern desktop they work great. |
