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

| # Require root to run | |
| if [ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]; then | |
| echo "Please run as root" | |
| exit 0 | |
