Hello, your new ASUS TUF FX505DT comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H processor, DDR4 2400MHz SDRAM, and a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. It also includes 4GB GDDR5 VRAM and a 256GB PCIe Gen3 SSD. I’m checking if running Linux—especially Ubuntu—will be compatible with this setup. Since you’re using Ubuntu on your HP Pavilion and it’s working fine, I’m wondering if switching to Linux would be a good idea. There are concerns about NVIDIA compatibility, but I want to confirm whether Linux can handle that hardware.

Nvidia might be challenging to start with. Pop OS is an Ubuntu-based system tailored for gaming, featuring a pre-installed Nvidia driver package. Make sure your Wi-Fi card is compatible as well.

The latest kernel version is up to date. Earlier versions had issues with Ryzen 3 series chips, but patches have resolved that. Ubuntu offers a GUI for installing third-party apps, which also handles the NVIDIA driver. I’m not certain about the stability of the 1650 model specifically.
