Well, no. The proprietary NVIDIA driver generally has better performance than
Mesa, but for many things Nouveau is perfectly adequate, and it would be a
pretty sad world in which performance would be the only consideration for which
software to use. I also think there's a significant difference between asking
someone to consider an option and telling them not to do something.
