This depends on your card, I think. If it's very new then yes, nouveau will be temperamental. I'd give Ubuntu a miss and use a distro that lets you boot a livecd with non-free drivers. Manjaro, Antergos. Other ones I'm not aware of but I'm sure somebody will chime in.

Install Funtoo

dont install shit debian

Install Mint. There is a driver manager that let you choose between open source and propriety drivers.
