Surprisingly that's mostly it. Keyboard, gamepad, ports, WiFi, Bluetooth and most other things just work as long as your kernel is recent enough.
# Installing
You can perform a regular install of Ubuntu 21.04 on the Win 3. The process is as follows:
- Create a USB stick with Ubuntu on it
- Boot it by holding Del (Fn+Backspace) on the Win 3 when powering it up, then under the "Save & Exit" in the BIOS, chose your USB stick under boot override
- During the install I recommend chosing "Try Ubuntu" to get to a desktop, then rotate the display in the settings, and start the installer when the screen is in the correct orientation
- [Optional] If you want to dual-boot, chose "something else" during partitioning
- [Optional] Besides system stuff, the Win 3 ships with two main paritions, a 100GB Windows partition, and a game partition (~900GB).
- [Optional] Delete the 900GB partition, leaving you with 900GB free space. Use this to make a Linux parition (for example a 100GB ext4 partition) with mount mount `/`
- [Optional] The remaining space (~800 GB in this example) can now be used however you see fit, you can make another ext4 parition for Linux, or some other filesystem that you can use in both Windows and Linux.
- After installing, grab all available updates and reboot, the Intel Xe GPU needs all updates it can get
- Check the "Main issues" document listed below for fixes if needed. Particularly when it comes to updating Mesa for better Intel Xe support.
