[ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop after installing 20.04

[David King]

I have tried booting with Kubuntu 20.04 from a USB flash drive, but on 
its default boot option, it gets stuck on the Kubuntu logo.

I tried the safe graphics mode, and it booted but there was no sound 
hardware detected.

I also tried booting into Linux Mint 20, the default did not boot, and 
with the safe graphics mode I could not get the trackpad to work.


With Ubuntu Mate 20.04 it will only boot from the safe graphics mode, 
although both audio and trackpad are working. But display is very low 
res, as per all linuxes without proper drivers.
