You are, the fact that nouveau is an alternative to the nvidia binary
drivers. I have an Nvidia card on this computer and haven't used the
binary drivers in years, avoiding the various problems that keep popping
up here and elsewhere.

acceleration, nouveau suits my needs perfectly, especially the need for
things to just work.
