## then press enter key, password, reboot.




# If you would rather enter the commands individually instead:

## Updating packages.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

## Install the recommended OEM kernel.
sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c

## Enable headset mic input.
echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

## Enable improved fractional scaling support for Ubuntu's GNOME environment using Wayland.
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

## Disable the ALS sensor so that your brightness keys work, 12th gen only.
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
## Append the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash section.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash module_blacklist=hid_sensor_hub"

## Then run
sudo update-grub

## Workaround needed to get the best suspend battery life for SSD power drain.
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
## Append the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash section.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvme.noacpi=1"

## Then run
sudo update-grub

## Preventing wifi drop offs.
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
## Change 3 into a 2
wifi.powersave = 2

# Sudo with your fingerprints.

## To run sudo in a terminal with the fingerprint reader, you need to run this command in a terminal and follow the prompts. 

sudo pam-auth-update           

## Also, if you've previously enrolled fingerprints in Windows or another Linux distro, you may find that fingerprint enrollment errors until you manually force clear the stored fingerprints.

Would be nice to use echo -e '[configure]\n<rest of the stuff> in the wifi powersaving config command is on purpose (or at least signal that the newline is intentional).

I was without wifi for a bit because I mistakenly deleted the newline thinking it was unintentional formatting, which caused NetworkManger to crash...

Also the wifi command isn't in the individual snippets.

Okay, we can accomplish the \n effect with the following:

echo "[connection]" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf && echo "wifi.powersave = 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

This produces:

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2

I'll be adding this shortly after some quick testing. But straight to the terminal, on its own, works well.

Confirmed working in a real-time test, updating now.

Thanks!

It looks like as of now the Ubuntu 22.04 download defaults to the HWE release, 22.04.2, which ships with kernel 5.19. linux-oem-22.04 will just install an older kernel version:

$ uname -r
5.19.0-35-generic

$ apt install --dry-run linux-oem-22.04
...
The following additional packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-headers-oem-22.04 linux-image-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-image-oem-22.04 linux-modules-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-oem-5.17-headers-5.17.0-1028
Suggested packages:
  fdutils linux-oem-5.17-tools
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-headers-oem-22.04 linux-image-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-image-oem-22.04 linux-modules-5.17.0-1028-oem linux-oem-22.04 linux-oem-5.17-headers-5.17.0-1028
0 upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I'm not totally sure I understand the Ubuntu release cadence, but from what I can tell the linux-oem-22.04 package isn't going to get further updates, so it might make sense to remove it from the instructions?

We're on OEM releases by design, updated to linux-oem-22.04c
