Sup guys, quick update: Seems Alberto was right, my family and friends switched back to Nouveau via the driver utility and were then able to install the new "tested" and "recommended" Nvidia drivers 346.82 via the stable repo provided by Ubuntu. No need to use -updates. System stability and speed has been restored! I can't verify this myself, since I have given up on Nvidia (running on AMD and Intel + Open Source drivers now), thus: I have added a screenshot that a friend sent me to this post, showing the new drivers available to Nvidia users.
Thanks @whoever fixed this!
