Planning to install on a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 Intel (16") with RTX™ 4050 (82WK0006US) in a few days. Apparently installing Ubuntu doesn't always go smoothly on this device; I've seen issues with the trackpad (which seem resolvable) as well the sound - but my main concern is the display driver - I gather that PopOs tends to be a better fit, but while I've got one box running Pop, my preference is for straight Ubuntu.
As it happens, Nvidia really isn't a big deal for me, though I probably wouldn't mind getting it to work if it's possible. For now, my priority is just repartitioning and installing and getting it running - my question is, am I better off holding off on the Nvidia installation until I get the thing going, and then seeing how well I can make it work? I've installed Ubuntu enough to know that the easiest way to do this is to indicate I don't want third-party drivers installed; however 1) I don't know if there are other things - like a network card - which would benefit from a third-party driver, and 2) if I do choose NOT to install the Nvidia driver, will Ubuntu use nouveau with the Nvidia, or will it use the onboard Intel UDH driver? Since I'm not much of a gamer, I'm almost indifferent about using the Nvidia - a couple of Java apps I use look like crap with the Nvidia drivers- but I'd at least like to give it a shot
