Canonical's Will Cooke is inviting members of the Ubuntu Linux community to participate in a testing program that aims to smooth the experience for those using Nvidia graphics cards with proprietary or open source drivers.

Canonical is looking for committed volunteers that own a computer with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card to test drive both the Nvidia proprietary graphics drivers and the open-source Nouveau graphics driver on both the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and the upcoming Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) releases and report any issues they might encounter.

If you're interested in participating, you will need to have a computer with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card, a spare partition on the disk drive to run the install test on a fresh Ubuntu 18.10 or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installation, and an active Internet connection. Of course, it's also possible to run the test on a live session if you can't resize your current partitions.
