Comment 68 for bug 982485

I spent months convincing my wife (MAC user) and my family (Windows users) that Ubuntu rules. But when I installed 12.04 and showed that to them and we all saw how compiz crashed in Unity 3D due to the nvidia drivers it ruined everything.

Now seriously, as an Ubuntu faithful user this is really disappointing. I only install LTS releases to avoid this kind of problems . I think the Ubuntu team should pay more attention to this potential problems.

I solved the problem by downgrading to nvidia drivers 295.33. This is my nvidia chipset
