1. Setup Nvidia driver

Go to Drivers > Install Tested Nvidia

NVIDIA X Server Settings > DFP-0-(LGD) > Change to Controls tab > "Dithering" > Enabled

3. Setup kb backlight
# 0 - 3 and 3 is the brightest
echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/asus::kbd_backlight/brightness

4. Disable vi arrow key issue

echo "set nocompatible" > $HOME/.exrc

5. Fix the low resolution splash screen for Ubuntu

sudo vi /etc/default/grub

##
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
##

sudo update-grub2

##In order to check for higher resolution
At the Grub boot screen press 'c' key to access the grub console. At the grub console run the following command
#grub > vbeinfo

Fix the splash screen

sudo echo "echo FRAMEBUFFER=y" > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

sudo update-initramfs -u

6. Enable workspace
