My own experience with Ubuntu 12.04 on a Tecra M9 wasn't pleasant when it came to the stability of the NVidia GPU using the open source driver. Every so often X Server would freeze either at the login screen or when logging in, if that wasn't the case then it may occur with the next reboot. Using the official NVidia driver was far, far, far worse with X Server freezing once every 10 seconds every time the laptop was running.
Since switching to Linux Mint 17 on the Tecra absolutely no problems have occurred with the stability of the NVidia GPU regardless of the driver used.
