Graphic Driver (ASUS 1080)

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*

5. Add repository for fetching nvidia drivers

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:graphics-drivers

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-387

8. Plug GPU into motherboard and move HDMI to plug into GPU
9. Turn on PC, now it should work perfectly. You can check by

lsmod |grep nvidia #this will show something, not empty

Wifi Driver

1. Check for wifi hardware version by this command and look for something about WIFI/Wireless/Network. Note that as of today, this works with kernel version 4.10.0-28. Kernel version 4.13 doesn’t work!!! (Select ubuntu kernel when turn on the PC)

#for me it’s b822 (which means version 8822be)
lspci

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/rtlwifi-linux/rtlwifi-next
