So far, no problems, but I haven't used it enough to be sure.
I tried nouveau and had an installation problem. If I encounter the crash again I'll try with nouveau; otherwise it's probably a bug in the old nvidia driver or ABI incompatibility. (Though unless nouveau consumption and hot plugging work decently well now it's not a practical solution long-term.) So mark the bug pending feedback or some such. - Diggory
