Just maybe it be time that plasma worked correctly with Nouveau. Nouveau is beautiful for everything else. At least, Debian folks are maintaining that, not dependent on Nvidia to maintain for legacy devices they would rather forget.
As I have already reported, the Debian free driver(Nouveau) freezes the system with colorful squiggly lines and I have to push and hold the power button to turn the computer off and then repair the file system.
I'm waiting to hear from upstream for suggestions on what I may test to help fix the plasma nvidia problem. Downgrading to Jessie-backports works, but cause package management problems. I wonder if backporting the free driver would work too.
