Xenial64 is the distribution of choice for me. It brings along all drivers I need for my Z270 mainboard (due to kernel 4.9). One disadvantage: so far no Nvidia driver in sight.
Unfortunately getnvidia64-1.0 did not work for me. Only a few files were copied into the PET or SFS file during installation.
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Xenial64 specifications: Xorg 1.18.4, kernel 4.9.15.
Target computer equipped with Nvidia 9300 chipset (means Nvidia drivers 304 or 340 are suitable)
Following steps:
1.) find a driver and a suitable patch (e.g. in this thread by Peebee or in Nvidia devtalk) and apply it
2.) install the patched driver
3.) manual copy of all necessary installed driver files into the driver SFS
4.) add some headers for vdpau and GL
I would like to share my results with you.
Driver 340.98, 64 bit

Driver 304.135, 64 bit

Installation recommendations: for first trials of you use a fresh, frugal installation, generate a backup of your xorg.conf-file. Add nvidia-sfs with the SFS-load.
Do not run NVIDIA-SETTINGS !!! It might ruin your installation.
Reboot, ready. In case a necessary file is not available please give me a feedback.
Good luck.
