Installing NVIDIA Drivers ❗❗

ubuntu-drivers devices
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

From last command see nvidia-driver-number and use it in the command below and then reboot 📺 ✔️

Since buying the Clevo N850HK1, installing linux distributions has always been difficult. After some experimentation, I settled for Ubuntu 17.10 and this is how I installed it.

Here's my notebook specs:

Machine:   Device: laptop System: Notebook product: N85_N87 HJ HJ1 HK1 serial: N/A
           Mobo: Notebook model: N85_N87 HJ HJ1 HK1 serial: N/A
           UEFI: American Megatrends v: 1.05.13 date: 05/08/2017
CPU:       Quad core Intel Core i7-7700HQ (-HT-MCP-) cache: 6144 KB

Update: Attention for MUXless laptop

After a weekend of research, stress and pain I finally figure out how to install manjaro 17 and configure the nvidia/bumblebee drivers on my avell laptop

Here's my notebook specs:

	During GSoC I was able to accomplish the following: optimize part of the ipred functions and implement tile threading support.
