Hello once again,
I'm going to be upgrading my graphics card from an GTX 750 TI
to the GTX 960 and was wondering what support Ubuntu Gnome
15.10 has for it and what steps I would need to take to ensure
that I don't run into any issues(black screen, for example).
If it matters at all, I currently have a small issue with my
install of Ubuntu Gnome where the only driver that will
work(Open Source or Nvidia's) is Nvidia's 361.28. I am also
using the 4.4.1 kernel.
Assuming the "recovery" boot option still works, getting to a
terminal to do the install for Nvidia's 361.28 driver isn't an
issue. Its just any quirks that might occur that I'm worried
about(like "recovery" boot option not working, if its even
possible for that to happen due to a new GPU).
Thanks for any information or help!

Best bet would be to keep the second graphics card incase the
driver install doesn't want to work properly, but it looks like
it's been working since Nvidia's 346.35 driver in 14.04 with Unity
<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia-geforce-gtx960&num=2>,
so you would think it would work with 15.10 and GNOME Shell.

I hope your right.
The only reason I'm really concerned is because of the issues I've had
with Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 on my GTX 750 TI. The Open Source graphics
driver is unusable due to garbled text and signing in doesn't always
work. The proprietary Nvidia driver has a bunch of minor issues as well
such as Plymouth displaying in a low resolution or graphical glitches
every time a game launches and goes fullscreen. Not the end of the
world, but really annoying(the last one anyway, i have everything in
xdiagnose enabled which apparently disabled Plymouth boot splash).

Nice! No problems on your end then?
