I have been trying in vain to get the discrete video card to work. I have tried applying all of the nvidia drivers listed in Driver Manager here:
But after a reboot, all I'll get is a black screen with a cursor, which requires me to reconfigure my Xorg. After doing a startx at the end of this reconfiguration step, the desktop graphic interface will come back with a message that Cinnamon has crashed and is currently in fallback mode. I can only then revert things back to their normal states by enabling the nouveau driver :(. I have also updated my kernel to 4.8.0-32-generic, but again nothing changed.
How can I get the discrete video card to work?
Edit: After deleting some PPA with the Software Sources GUI, my Driver Manager looks like this

First of all remove your ppa I assume it's launchpad.net/~ricotz/+ppa-packages?start=75&batch=75 with ppa-purge.

I removed my ppa from Software Sources and reran Driver Manager. Now nvidia-367 shows up as "recommended". Selecting it still causes Cinnamon to crash as before. :(

First add the ppa again, or it will not work. I think it was this If yes, easier command
sudo ppa-purge -o xorg-edgers
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-361
Don't be confused, this is the Meta-package for nvidia-367
According to nvidia-page supports the driver your card and it is no beta.
