Hi I have bought a new laptop Asus tuf . Below is config for same ASUS TUF FX505DY-BQ002T 15.6-inch FHD Gaming Laptop (AMD Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/Radeon RX 560X 4GB Graphics/2.20 Kg),

After dual boot when I choose Ubuntu 16.04 and tried login, Ubuntu freezes and doesn't show login screen. When I set nomodeset in grub I am able to see login screen but display resolution is 800*600

I tried installing graphics card from Raedon's website but I see only windows driver for RX 560x.

Please help me as I am unable to find any solution from last 2 weeks.

I have tried Ubuntu xubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 but none of them work.

Please note I am ready to use basic graphics card if it solves my problem.

So there are 2 problems that you must be facing. 1.) Wifi Not Working(adapter not found) 2.) Graphic Drivers not working.(bcoz AMD drivers are not installed)

DO ALL THIS while booting using NOMODESET

The first one requires you to install the wifi drivers. The current Tuf laptop you are using has Realtek 8821CE whose drivers are yet not officially released by Ubuntu.To tackle this follow steps in the given link How to install Wi-Fi driver for Realtek RTL8821CE on Ubuntu 18.04?. You will have to connect your laptop with a wired connection for this.

After Wifi Problem is fixed you will have to install the necessary graphics driver for your particular system specification from here https://www.amd.com/en/support/previous-drivers/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-560.

Also follow the advice given on this link Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS R9 390X amdgpu guide / testing summary
