I used bumblebee for quite a while. It worked okay, but every upgrade I would have to fiddle with it again. I switched to the Nouveau driver and I'm very glad I did. "Conventional wisdom" says Nouveau quality is lower than Nvidia, but I found it worked better on some things (Second Life). As someone else pointed out, with Nouveau the GPU remains on all the time consuming power. This is the downside. If ease-of-use and/or open licensing are more important to you than top rendering quality and power consumption, consider using Nouveau. -- Erik Mackdanz
