I use GNOME 3.24.2, with gnome-shell (which uses a compositor). Also, I |

run Wayland, not "classic" X. |

If I had had the positive experience you speak of, I would adopt Nouveau in |
| 11 |
a heartbeat. Nvidia has clearly shown their lack of interest in the Linux |
| 12 |
community by shunning higher console resolutions, leaving a display port |
| 13 |
blanking bug unresolved for about 2 years and haphazardly fixing bugs with |
| 14 |
features reported to be working on miscellaneous branches of the driver, |
| 15 |
unreleased to the unwashed masses (read up about Vulkan support, esp vs |
| 16 |
Rise of the Tomb Raider). |

I do not play modern AAA games on Linux. Nouveau works with 2D |
| 19 |
acceleration and basic OpenGL, but I don't think it can handle something |
| 20 |
like Tomb Raider or Mad Max. |

my main machine daily is off the cards. If I wanted that, I'd use that |
| 24 |
other OS. I develop on that other OS, but my development machine can be |
| 25 |
rebooted any time. My home machine has shit to get done. |

Nouveau (in my experience) is rock solid and fast for desktop use. |
| 28 |
However, it doesn't work for gaming, AFAIK. |
