I included my reply to you in the same post as my reply to OP because it could be
noted there (three times) that the choice is not between Nouveau and NVidia, but
rather it's between those two AND the upstream default (aka preferred; since
server 1.17.x about six years ago) DDX driver: Modesetting. Here is where in parts
of my post you did not quote where it could be seen three times:
...
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting
...
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting
...
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: modesetting
...
Notice the absence of "nouveau". You may better understand this choice among three
rather than two by reading here:
