NVidia defects
About 2.5 years ago, when I installed KDE Neon, I also decided to try the nvidia driver for my GT 650M. It worked perfectly. As time rolled along, after an update about 6 months ago, I noticed that to get a desktop without a mouse artifact I had to restart sddm from the login screen before I logged into my desktop.
Last September I signed on to a 100Mbps fiber optic symmetrical connection. In the last month I've noticed that YT videos, including ads, buffer too much, almost becoming unwatchable. Also, secondary HTML pages occasionally buffered as well.
Yesterday I decided to switch back to my Intel HD3000 graphics chip. In doing so the logout capability did not work, even from a Konsole. So I hit the power button. Running on the Intel graphic I do not need to restart the sddm. Videos start immediately and very few have buffered.
My desktop runs about about 60fps vertically synced, which is about 1/3rd as fast as the GT 650M. The Universe Sandbox^2 jitters only when particle count gets large. Most simulations run reasonably fast. Minecraft runs nicely.
I am going to play with some other nvidia drivers and see if anything changes.
