<div dir="ltr"><div>My last experience with Asus and ubuntu was a disaster to be honest. I had a really nice new-ish 2014 Asus UX laptop my company gave me from an old exec then, and nothing but weird bios bugs related to the nvidia card, in fact I couldn't even install without it freezing up every time graphically (sound familiar?). Screwing with it for weeks, I had to use a non-desktop install without a gui build to keep the nouveau driver from loading (I probably used netboot install, or server), get an os on it, load the nvidia binary drivers, update the bios, and pray it's better. The system was still wrought with bugs though, weird crashes, lots of nvidia issues with compositing, suspend issues, it was just... a nightmare to try and use. I quit a short time later and happily gave it back to desktop team to install some windoze version that probably worked just dandy with some bastard asus drivers.</div><div><br></div><div>From that day on I spit when I hear asus and linux in the same sentence, they are just not linux friendly in my experience, and never claim to be. Dell shows linux specific love, so I tend to stay there as a result.</div><div><br></div><div>-mb<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 9, 2018 at 12:06 PM, Stephen Elliott <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tnflyfisher@live.com" target="_blank">tnflyfisher@live.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I’m trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on an Asus UX501VW laptop, using the disk from Ubuntu Unleashed 2019 edition.
