Best way to install Ubuntu 18.04 on Dell Precision 5530

I would like to install 18.04 LTS on my Dell Precision 5530 with following specs:

Intel Core i9-8950HK
32GB RAM
Quadro P2000
4k Screen
Intel Wifi Link 9260 2x2.

I'm coming from Kubuntu 18.04 and had minor graphic issues, which always forced me to restart when I connected a screen. Since I do this daily it is quite annoying.

Do you might have any tips before I start the installation. SWAP partition or SWAP file (had this on Kubuntu)? Which driver to use for my NVidia card and how to install? Should I let the system install all drivers during installation our should I better do it myself afterwards?

1 Answer

1) Swap: See

2) Intel drivers, GPU & WiFi: The drivers are in the kernel.

3) Here are specific instructions for the P2000 proprietary drivers, which I suggest adding after standard installation completes:

4) Standard installation?
