Ansible playbook to automate the setup of a Fedora installation. If the laptop is a Asus ROG Zephyrus GA402XI additional asus-linux stuff and NVIDIA drivers will be installed.

Source for all the Asus Linux specific config comes from this guide: https://asus-linux.org/guides/fedora-guide/

Run the playbook and ask for 'Become' password with the following command:

ansible-playbook setup.yml -K

This is specific if you run NVIDIA GPU. Edit system boot configuration:

sudo vim /etc/default/grub

GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nvidia-drm.modeset=1 rhgb quiet preemt=full"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_ENABLE_BLSCFG=true

• The nouveau stuf will blacklist the nuoveau driver from being loaded
• nvidia-drm.modset=1 allow the dGPU to display on external monitors.
  • Check if this is set correctly with sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modset should return Y.
• rhgb is the Red Hat Graphical Boot
• quiet prevents output of the kernel boot process
• preemt=full allows other processes to interrupt kernel processes, like I/O

Some settings might appreare multiple times, they can be deleted safely. If there is something with a nomodset this should be removed, as else graphics acceleration is disabled.

Update grub:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg

Reboot.
