Noveau drivers are useful in a “render my desktop on my privacy-centric distro” kind of way, not in the “I’d like to play games released after the 2000s and actually do serious modelling work” kind of way. At least for now.
Functional. NVIDIA didn’t truly “open source” their drivers to anywhere near the same degree as AMD (AFAIK they didn’t give much for the community to work with), so you’re forced to use the proprietary ones in most cases. That might change over time, though.

I think NVK is the default implimentation these days
I haven’t paid much attention on the matter, but how are the official open source drivers for the 2000 series and newer?
