It ALL depends on your needs. If you want gaming, or multi-card/monitor support, with all the goodies turned on, you'll want the real drivers. If you are just doing email, web browsing, Hunt The Wumpus, and office stuff, then the open source drivers are just fine, unless you get flickering and tearing.Hi, I would live to buy a workstation and install Jessie. I would like to use the open source drivers for the graphic card. What would you recommend? My choices are Nvidia or AMD. I checked the Nvidia/Debian wiki and the Nouveau drivers seems to work very well: "As of jessie, the need for the proprietary drivers is pretty much over - nouveau now works quite well" https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers Which open source driver is better Nouveau or AMD open source driver?
