Compatibility for ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550VE [duplicate]
I'm looking at buying a new laptop and I want to run Linux full time. I was looking at this laptop and I wanted to know if it's hardware would be compatible and if the finger print sensor would work.
I just got this model today and I installed Ubuntu 18.04 (daily build, downloaded from here). Everything worked just fine during the installation (sound, touch pad etc). When Ubuntu installer needed to reboot, that failed. Stucked with message "soft lockup, CPU#1 stuck for 22s!"
Installed latest kernel and latest Nvidia drivers (apt update ; apt install nvidia-384), that fixed the shutdown/reboot issue.
Fingerprint reader is not supported. The drivers are closed source and from what I found this person is trying to make it supported.
