I completely agree, it's a bad user experience. The reason why proprietary drivers like Nvidia are historically not installed by default I think is because they have their own license conditions.
In practice the real problem here seems to be the bugginess of the open source nouveau driver you will get instead. It's been causing pain for us for years and I would tend to think we should partially disable it. Maybe just disable the acceleration part (mesa) and not the KMS part (kernel). ** Summary changed: - [nouveau][amdgpu] Weird colors after startup (Ubuntu 22.04) + [nouveau] Weird colors after startup (Ubuntu 22.04) ** Package changed: mutter (Ubuntu) => mesa (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969959 Title: [nouveau] Weird colors after startup (Ubuntu 22.04) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I started Ubuntu 22.04 from a live pen drive. Everything seems fine, the usual screen with the options to "Try Ubuntu" or "Install" Ubuntu appears. When hitting "Try Ubuntu", the screen turns black for a couple of seconds and then re-appears in yellow and brown colors, feels like a 4 color display (white, black, yellow and orange) and I can hardly see anything - sending this bug report from that live system right after starting it up.
