Ubuntu Installation
Mar 30, 2026
XPS 9300
- Disable Intel RST in the bios. Ubuntu sent me to help.ubuntu.com/rst, which wasn’t that helpful. Boot into bios, then set SATA controller to AHCI. (Make.. sure that that the SSD is still enabled after you do so.)
- Boot into laptop. Press F12 while booting for boot menu. Follow the prompts. It’s easy!
(I didn’t have to do this on my newer computer, for some reason.)
Setup
Notes:
- symlink vim plugins to neovim plugins …?
- symlink.sh should warn on regular file
- zprofile vs profile?
- fix backlight
