Phil:

A redirect is the more wiser direction in comparison when available.

However, no redirect candidate has been found.

Given how Nouveau is the default driver for nvidia graphics cards,
installation instructions for it is largely unhelpful, and misleading.

Ideally, it would nice if documentation exists that discussed this.
However, like with other undocumented components of Ubuntu, it's not a
requirement for one to use it successfully given how like with many
things in Ubuntu, "It Just works."
