Bug Description
Ubuntu 16.04 suggest proprietary Nvidia drivers when a Nvidia GPU is present. The settings in the nvidia-settings tool cannot be saved, however, without starting the tool as root and doing all kinds of workarounds which is impossible to do for the average user.
Do you really expect users to reconfigure their displays after every login?
Unless you can fix this, the Nvidia driver recommendation should simply be removed. Delivering such a horrible experience to millions of users seems like a bad joke and the persons responsible should feel really bad about this.
Ubuntu has no future anywhere with such usability issues.
