The Nouveau 3D Drivers
The 3D drivers of the Nouveau driver suite are in Mesa. All the drivers are in a state to allow to play some games, more or less. You can try them at your own discretion, and some distributions even package them. When you encounter problems with them, read below, whether bug reports are valued or accepted, please. GalliumHowto explains the Gallium3D based drivers' installation process.
While the drivers include a significant amount of functionality and probably work on the common Linux games shipped with distributions, there are still some serious issues and they are not too optimized for performance. OpenGL applications that work at first may crash sooner or later. Some applications may crash X itself or hang the GPU. You should be prepared to face issues, and be able to recover from them yourself. If the GPU hangs, you can either reboot or suspend (see LockupRecovery).
... that's why i need nvidia drivers: the full 3d acceleration support
there must be some compatibility issue between xorg/kernel/nvidia drivers on zorin, am i wrong?
