Install NVIDIA Driver

DO NOT INSTALL THIRD PARTY GRAPHICS DRIVERS IN UBUNTU INSTALLATION INTERFACE!!!

Software Sources -> Additional Drivers
-> Using NVIDIA driver ... nvidia-driver-510 (proprietary, tested)

Then execute:

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Zsh & Oh My Zsh

sudo apt install zsh git
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Set fnmode For Compact Keyboards

The function keys on some compact keyboards (e.g. my Keychron K6) doesn't work, this may be caused by wrong default fnmode value.

To change it temporarily, execute:

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

To change it permanently, execute:

echo options hid_apple fnmode=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Then reboot.

Note that file /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf may not exists initially, this will create a new file for it.

Replace openjdk with oracle-jdk

My path to oracle-jdk 16.0.2 is: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-16.0.2/bin/java.

So firstly set an alternative for java:

sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-16.0.2/bin/java" 1

Then, use this command to switch default alternative for java:

sudo update-alternatives --config java
