Overall a pretty stable system based on an Intel 965 Chipset and a Geforce 7600. I did a clean install of 16.04 and added nvidia-graphics- drivers-304-updates. At first the system was horribly unstable, displayed garbage at the slighted GPU load, even starting frozen bubble in full screen made lightdm restart. After using "dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/opengl/enable-x11-sync false" the system became stable but display is still often distorted, missing picture elements, doesn't draw all elements in firefox, scrolling of firefox and terminal output is missing parts. This happens around once every minute so it is still workable but unprofessional. Happens a lot more often in Firefox than any other application. Also I have the feeling lots of stuff is working a lot slower than it did in 12.04, e.g. starting frozen bubble in full screen takes a lot longer than earlier. I think this error is somewhere between nvidia drivers, compiz and firefox.
