Unfortunately the time and resources > we have is limited so we have to pick our battles. True. I remember editing sources to do so in the "distant" past (simple stuff, however). The only reason I am using the nvidia-legacy is problems in KDE, Iceweasel hangups and segfaults. Responders to these bugs said forget Nouveau, which BTW I do like, and go to the proprietary NVidia. May or may not still be the case. At one time, I had boot command lines to choose Nvidia vs Nouveau, but things have changed, i.e. systemd, no more Xorg.conf, etc. If someone could tell me how to accomplish this now, I would be a happy camper. Apparently, a blacklist file is all that controls whether or not the included Nouveau driver is activated. Simply a missing nvidia driver dkms update will produce an error.
