I have recently been having trouble drivers.

I ended up reinstalling my system (Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.4).

Things gone bad:
- CPU#1 stuck (on reboot)
- Gnome-shell consuming 150-200%+ CPU
- touchpad lacks palm detection
- Brightness control and airplane mode do not work anymore (other Fn keys work) kernel 4.13.0.38 +
- External monitor not detected with Type-C adapter (used to work; currently only works with NVIDIA driver; not tested yet in the latest installation; yesterday It was working with the NVIDIA driver)
- a bunch of PCIe errors in dmesg

System used:
 - Dell XPS 15 9560 (2017)
 - Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.4 (downloaded from website yesterday)
 - System is encrypted. Re-installation was done while preserving /home
