Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

[countdodo]

Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Brand: ASUS
Model: ZenBook S UX391UA
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-8550U (8th Gen)
GPU: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2)
Gnome: 42.5 + Wayland

I used to have a lot of crashes, freezes and inability to leave black screen sleep mode with this laptop but finally have a stable machine.

1. upgrade the bios firmware to version 307: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/ux391ua/helpdesk_bios/. It solves the freeze issue plugging/unplugging the power supply.
   -> I read a lot of things (setting the nomodeset, etc) but the bios upgrade was the real answer.
2. update /etc/default/grub file adding i915.enable_dc=0 at variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (and then sudo update-grub to apply the changes). It solves the crashes and sleep issue. (It seems to be a Intel 8th Gen CPU bug).
   -> Here again I read it was because of Wayland or Gnome extensions but the Intel issue seems to be legit in my case.

Now I can develop peacefully: VS Code, Intellj, Docker, Kubernetes, Node and all my other dev tools work fine.

Hope it helps.

1) Version Of Ubuntu: XUbuntu 22.04.3 LTS (kernel 5.15.0-91-generic)
2) Laptop Maker: Acer
3) Laptop Model: Swift 3 SF314-43 with AMD 5700U SoC / CPU

Known Issues:

The built-in fingerprint reader does not work. The built-in microphone does not work. When returning from suspend (not hibernate) the OS freezes occasionally and only a hard power off and reboot will revive it, loosing all open work.

Resolution to built-in microphone does not work: in order to get the builtin stereo mic working:

Sound Server PipeWire and Sound Server PulseAudio interfere with each other.

If they are both running (verify with command:

$ inxi -Aa

) then you can disable PipeWire with command:

$ systemctl --user mask --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user stop pipewire.service

Then stereo recording works (only the left and right mic recording channels are switched.)
