Comment 243 for bug 1268257

I don't care so much about Nouveau as I do the Nvidia official drivers. I
never had many problems if at all stability-wise with Nouveau, but I like
the official Nvidia drivers better regardless because they are built
specifically for and by Nvidia for Nvidia products, allowing a more
reliable, consistent graphics experience and snappier speeds.
