I see others discussing Nvidia's drivers and their older cards depending on Nouveau. Should I stick with Nouveau for my GT 540M or keep going with proprietary? My latest supported driver is 391.35, and I was advised to use proprietary before. However, I've been questioning this since the card is EOS.

Choose the open-source options if they suit you. They aren't widely used, even for me. That's why I opt for the proprietary ones. I'm assuming you're not looking for a game, just something that works.

I play a lot of games on this machine. I learned that proprietary drivers don’t support Vulcan, and I wondered if Nouveau offered that when the hardware was ready.

Are you concerned about the dGPU performance? I tend to stick with the iGPU in laptops. The power management on Linux laptops is poor and can drain your battery. Instead, try using the standard legacy 390.xx driver—it's more up-to-date and compatible with newer kernels. Find more details here. Also, look into Bumblebee for hybrid use so you can rely on iGPU for general tasks but reserve dGPU only for specific applications. See the linked options for further guidance.
