nouveau驅動程式已被以下Linux發行版作為Nvidia顯示卡的預設開放原始碼驅動程式： [[Fedora (作業系統)|Fedora]] 11<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzE3OA|title = Testing Out The Nouveau Driver On Fedora 11|author = Michael Larabel|date = 2009-03-29|publisher = [[Phoronix]]|accessdate = 2014-07-25|archive-date = 2014-08-13|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140813033048/http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzE3OA|dead-url = no}}</ref>及[[openSUSE]] 11.3<ref>{{cite web|url = http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights#Base_System|title = Product highlights for openSUSE 11.3 version|publisher = [[openSUSE]]|accessdate = 2010-12-29|archive-date = 2011-03-04|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110304000101/http://en.opensuse.org/Product_highlights#Base_System|dead-url = no}}</ref>。它也被包含在[[Ubuntu]] 9.04的套件庫中<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjkxNg|title = Ubuntu 9.04 To Get Nouveau Driver|author = Michael Larabel|publisher = [[Phoronix]]|date = 2010-12-09|accessdate = 2014-07-25|archive-date = 2014-07-28|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140728063938/http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjkxNg|dead-url = no}}</ref>，並在Ubuntu 10.04中作為預設的驅動程式<ref>{{cite web|url = https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/454821/comments/2|title = Bug #454821: Bugs: "xserver-xorg-video-nv" package: Ubuntu|accessdate = 2010-02-24|archive-date = 2019-10-18|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20191018231411/https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/454821/comments/2|dead-url = no}}</ref>
它也包括在[[Debian]]的套件庫中<ref>{{cite web|url = http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nouveau&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all|title = Nouveau nVidia drivers now available in Debian experimental|author = [[Debian]]|date = 2011-02-11|accessdate = 2014-07-25|archive-date = 2013-07-21|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130721081036/http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nouveau&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all|dead-url = no}}</ref>。這個驅動程式包含在這些作業系統中，但是並不允許3D硬體加速。

2009年12月10日被[[Linux內核]]2.6.33版接受成為暫時驅動程式<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc5NQ|title = Nouveau To Go Into Linux 2.6.33 Kernel!|publisher = [[Phoronix]]|date = 2009-12-11|accessdate = 2014-07-25|archive-date = 2014-08-08|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140808043146/http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc5NQ|dead-url = no}}</ref>。

Fedora 13（2010年5月）允許安裝mesa-dri-drivers-experimental軟體包，可以此啟用實驗性的3D圖形硬體加速，若沒有安裝這個軟體包就無法啟用。

3D加速被Ubuntu 10.10包含在「libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental」軟體包中。

[[Compiz]]建議使用nouveau而非Nvidia專有驅動程式<ref>{{cite web|url = http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/beware-the-benchmarks/|title = Beware the benchmarks.|author = Sam Spilsbury, head maintainer of Compiz|date = 2010-05-21|quote = Our recommendation: Use nouveau.|accessdate = 2014-07-25|archive-date = 2014-08-12|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140812200845/http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/beware-the-benchmarks/|dead-url = no}}</ref>。

2012年3月26日，nouveau驅動程式被標示為穩定，並從Linux核心的暫時驅動程式提升為核心驅動程式<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lwn.net/Articles/488338/|title=The Nouveau driver graduates from staging|author=Jonathan Corbet|work=LWN.net|date=2012-03-23|accessdate=2014-07-25|archive-date=2014-07-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140722054743/http://lwn.net/Articles/488338/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

2014年6月，Codethink回報可以在[[Linux內核]] 3.15上與[[Wayland]]一同執行，是使用EGL且是[[NVIDIA Tegra#Tegra K1系列|Tegra K1]]上的「100%開放原始碼的顯示卡驅動程式堆疊」<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTcxODc |title=Codethink Gets The NVIDIA Jetson TK1 Running With Linux 3.15, Wayland |date=2014-06-12 |work=[[Phoronix]] |accessdate=2014-07-25 |archive-date=2014-07-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714141023/http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTcxODc |dead-url=no }}</ref>。
