Just to clarify: 1) Do not install the driver unless you want to use it. Uninstalling the driver will not break your system. By design a driver will be enabled if you install it. We keep an option to disable the driver but that's only to be used by gpu-manager (which is part of ubuntu-drivers-common), in order to support hybrid graphics. That is not meant to be disabled manually.
2) Optimus is supported by the NVIDIA driver. @teo1978 feel free to file a separate bug report about the external screen issue. 3) Optimus seems to fail with 340 on some systems, and even with 346 on others. We moved from the "modesetting" driver (which NVIDIA recommend but it's not the only driver that works) to "intel" because some systems didn't work (either at all or correctly). On such systems using the modesetting driver is the only solution.
