I'm using the staging PPA on Xenial, which works fine for me on all my other computers that use Intel GPUs. But, for my one machine that has an NVIDIA GPU, it doesn't. I tried using drivers version 364 and 367 with the same result. Doing a ppa-purge solves the problem, so it works fine with 3.18.
What happens is that after a few minutes of use, GNOME Shell crashes and I get the terminal screen with a few systemd outputs. (I do know 3.20 is not officially supported, but I hope this bug report will help maintainers. Happy to help in any way I can with testing.)
