HCL - ASUS TUF Gaming A17 FA707RC

Remarks

If you use Ethernet port to internet connection, system die(shutdown) every 5-10min. But any other distros also have this problem. To solve it need install another Ethernet driver (but i no tried this). Wifi works good. To install system need add custom xen params. Also I add my notes to install system and drivers:

Install system

steps

  1. x2apic=false x2apic_phys=true add this to xen params on boot (press E button, find xen, type params and press CTRL + X to run system)

grub

to save boot params after system install

  • sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/grub
  • sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/grub.cfg

wifi

  • starts after reboot system
