NVIDIA is known for its poor compatibility with Linux.

Acer Predator Helios 300 comes with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1050Ti. The reason why I opted for this gaming laptop even though I don’t game on PC is NVIDIA Graphics. It’s a bulky, heavy built laptop which is in contrast to my liking of smaller, lightweight laptops like the awesome Dell XPS. The other day I bought an Acer Predator laptop ( affiliate link) to test various Linux distribution. The tutorial was performed on a newly installed Ubuntu system but it should be applicable otherwise as well.

This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to deal with Ubuntu freezing at the boot by installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
