Hi everyone,
You can solve the non-boot issue adding a parameter to kernel. It worked to me in my dell xps 15 9560 and Ubuntu 17.04.
you must, with root privileges, edit /etc/default/grub and add a parameter to the default kernel command line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_
after that, run the following commands as superuser:
update-grub
update-grub2
I suggest installing bumblebee, since prime-select does not help to reduce noise and power consuptiom. I actually do not now what it is good for. With bumblebee you will be running on intel most of the time and when some application requires strong graphics acceleration, you call it using the optirun command. To me this is perfect because I only use the GTX to run my CUDA programs and this allows me to leave the GPU for number crunching only.
To instal and configure bumblebee, follow these instructions. I use nvidia-375 instead of the driver the author suggests:
