Kernel settings for installation

Use a live usb to try Ubuntu before installing. Boot from the live usb. On the GRUB screen highlight the "Try Ubuntu ...." option and press e. Update kernel parameters by adding options before quiet splash such that the line should read as below

nogpumanager nomodeset i915.modeset=1 quiet splash

Note: On HighDPI screen machines there is a known issue whereby Ubiquity (ubuntu installer) craashes at the copying files step i.e. immediatly after the user setup screen. The cause and workaround are discussed in other gist post

Persist GRUB configuration

Post installation, to avoid updating the above mentioned kernel options each time the system is booted, edit GRUB configuration file sudo vi /etc/default/grub and make th

Tuning Intel Skylake and beyond for optimal performance and feature level support on Linux:

Note that on Skylake, Kabylake (and the now cancelled "Broxton") SKUs, functionality such as power saving, GPU scheduling and HDMI audio have been moved onto binary-only firmware, and as such, the GuC and the HuC blobs must be loaded at run-time to access this functionality.

Enabling GuC and HuC on Skylake and above requires a few extra parameters be passed to the kernel before boot.

Instructions provided for both Fedora and Ubuntu (including Debian):

Note that the firmware for these GPUs is often packaged by your distributor, and as such, you can confirm the firmware blob's availability by running:

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

How to use:

Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.
