True, but for some 'older' model nVidia cards, noveau is the ONLY way to 
go, the Proprietary nVidia driver will not support the card.

With that being said, noveau has a way to go to provide the same support 
as the nVidia driver and this is either due to a lack of documentation 
or the inability to 'black box' the proprietary driver.

Again, nVidia/AMD drivers are NOT available for all video cards and if 
the system is a laptop, the video subsystem is not swappable anyway (you 
are stuck with what you got in the box.)

Lastly, Fedora and several other Linux distributions throw up 'tainted 
kernel' messages when you use closed drivers.
