| 1. Install Ubuntu 18.04.6 (amd64). | |
| 2. Follow [the instructions](https://askubuntu.com/a/613573). When I entered `sudo setpci -s "00:17.0" 3e.b`, I got `0a`, but this didn't affect the installation Nvidia graphics driver. | |
| 3. Install Nvidia graphics driver and drivers for Wi-Fi from `Additional Drivers` program (in Ubuntu). Reboot. We see the Nvidia logo. | |
| 4. [The method with enabling "EnableBrightnessControl" in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`](https://askubuntu.com/a/199652) doesn't work for me, so I created hotkeys for `F1` and `F2` with `xbacklight` tool. | |
| 5. Disabled unnecessary (for me) daemons like `snapd`, `apparmor`, etc., so as not to slow down the system. | |
| 6. Done! |
