Ubuntu on Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2021 (Setup guide)

Here is a way to do a robust install of Ubuntu (+ optional Windows 11 dual boot and LUKS encryption) on an Asus laptop, with minimal usable hardware support, without a significant amount of tinkering that may break in future or require frequent technical attention.

In summary, the key thing is to have an up to date kernel, which usually means disabling secure-boot and installing the latest stable (6.0+) using mainline or xanmod, and as well as making sure the latest nvidia driver and dkms is installed.

Specs:

• Model Asus G14 2021 (GA401QC)
• AMD R7 5800 8 core 16 thread (onboard Radeon graphics)
• NVIDIA RTX 3050 4GB (60W +15W boost)
