I used bumblebee for quite a while. It worked okay, but every upgrade I |
| 7 |
would have to fiddle with it again. |

I switched to the Nouveau driver and I'm very glad I did. "Conventional |
| 10 |
wisdom" says Nouveau quality is lower than Nvidia, but I found it worked |
| 11 |
better on some things (Second Life). |

As someone else pointed out, with Nouveau the GPU remains on all the |
| 14 |
time consuming power. This is the downside. |

If ease-of-use and/or open licensing are more important to you than top |
| 17 |
rendering quality and power consumption, consider using Nouveau. |
