I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (MSI GS66 Stealth 11UH) but the SSD is not detected. I'm using a bootable key of Ubuntu 21.10. I thought it could be related to SATA mode being RAID instead of AHCI, but there is no such option in the BIOS, so I assume my computer only supports AHCI in the first place. The hardware is fairly recent, maybe it is just not supported properly yet. I had touchpad issue using Ubuntu 20.04 image and that's why I was trying to install Ubuntu 21.10 instead.

Note that I shrunk the windows partition using Windows partition management tools before trying to install Ubuntu.

After some trial and error, the NVME drive was properly detected on Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.04. It is only not working on the latest 21.10 with default kernel version (5.13), while if I use an older one (5.11) it is working fine even on 21.10. I would say that the original issue is solved then, but unfortunately the wifi card (intel AX1675X) was still not working on any version... It turns out that installing backport-iwlwifi-dkms fixed this last issue. So now it is all good !

EDIT: Now it is working on Ubuntu 22.04.0 with the default kernel (5.15 for me), but I cannot adjust the screen brightness. I'm using Nvidia 510 driver with on-demand setting.
