ASUS TUF F15

  • ASUS TUF F15 Model
  • 2024/02/20
  • Laptop GPU NVIDIA

I recently purchased an ASUS TUF laptop and installed Ubuntu on it. While this model is primarily designed for gaming, I opted for it because of its powerful configuration, despite not being an avid gamer myself.

Configuration

Ubuntu Installation

The TUF model comes with Windows 11. However, I installed Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS x86_64 version. Later, had to install NVIDIA driver.
