My suggestion would be to focus on one issue that you need help with, not do a data dump of every single problem you had with 42.2 expecting someone here to step in and help you with everything you found wrong with 42.2 on your machine. Personally, I won't usually support anyone using the NVIDIA driver when they are having issues.
Unfortunately, the free alternative is not up to the task. Several applications do not work without the proprietary driver installed. Think Plasma, for instance. Think apps doing 3D. I do understand that Nouveau is very complicated to do without help from Nvidia (documentation), but as there is no hardware alternative to buy we users are forced to buy Nvidia or AMD graphics. Yes, there is Intel graphics, but they are not good enough (yet?) So please do not blame users when we are forced to use the proprietary drivers. It is not our fault. :-/ -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
