For ordinary desktop use, Nouveau is Ok - there are occasionally
oddities that happen.  I have this on an ancient motherboard I use for
testing that has a builtin Nvidia GPU (much older than my GT220).  But
it does not work for video - playing recordings in MythTV does produce
a picture, but it is very bad and out of sync with the audio
(variably), and not usable.
