Question

I thought it would install itself properly since it offered me Nvidia drivers after fresh system installation. It did not.

Here is a step-by-step guide for what I did to make Nvidia Optimus work on Kubuntu 15.10 64-bit. Note that I describe the user friendly way because it's meant for all users to be able to do it.

1. In the Device Manager choose the recommended driver, in my case nvidia-352
2. If you don't have it already, in Muon Discover find Muon Package Manager and install it
3. Start Muon Package Manager, type nvidia
4. Make sure all of the following packages are installed, as you will probably have to install some of them

5. From the menu start Konsole and type sudo kate /etc/bumblebee/bumblebee.conf
6. Change the following lines
   Driver=
   to
   Driver=nvidia
   and
   KernelDriver=nvidia-current
   to
   KernelDriver=nvidia-352
   and
   LibraryPath= Sorry I don't remember what was there
   to
   LibraryPath=/usr/lib/nvidia-352:/usr/lib32/nvidia-352
   and
   XorgModulePath= Sorry I don't remember what was there
   to
   XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia-352/xorg,/usr/lib/xorg/modules
7. Reboot
8. From menu start Konsole and type optirun steam if you play games via Steam
9. Enjoy!
