Asus ux-6404vv compatibility

I was wondering if anyone has any laptops with similar specs to mine working
with haiku as I’m trying to ditch Windows 11 as it loves eating all my RAM not to mention privacy concerns (let’s not get into a debate about that in the comments please)

specs include :

  • i9 13900H (13900k works so I don’t see why it wouldn’t, any info will be useful)
  • RTX 4060M (unknown) + intel UHD hybrid graphics (unknown model as Windows 11 won’t tell me in the device manager likely UHD630)
  • INTEL AX211 (seems to work based on other posts)
  • 16GB DDR4 RAM 4800mhz (irrelevant but may be oƒuse to some people)
  • and a 1TB micron NVME SSD(yet again irrelevant but …you know the drill)

yes I’m aware I could use Linux but what is the fun in that I’ve installed Linux hundreds of times and I always end up breaking it, lol (don’t question it it’s just what I do, for fun not like I keep anything important on my system anyways ) anyways I’m getting off topic so I’ll just shut up and post this

Welcome T8103!
If you run out of patience waiting for someone that just happens to have similar hardware, just try downloading Beta5, copy it to a USB stick and try booting it.
If it doesn’t right away, try some Boot Loader Options, possibly Use fail-safe graphics driver.

Thanks for that suggeston but my laptop I brought second hand and is still under warranty thankfully I’m more than happy to wait as the shop I bought it from says I can’t change my os I have to wait till February to remove the window install sadly unless there’s a live mode like Linux distros have tbh should have googled that lol but even then can’t guarantee that if I boot haiku it won’t break my windows install lol same applies with Linux hence why I haven’t even tried Linux on my system yet as much as I want to

Take a look at: https://hardware.besly.de

If you get Haiuku running, add you hardware infos to: Hardware List: Complete Systems - Feedback / Hardware - Haiku Community (haiku-os.org)

actually heck I imma trying it can’t resist the urge to try it if it breaks my Windows install oh well not like they’re gonna know the difference if its fresh or not lol

can confirm it boots however trackpad does not work and when shut down it kernel panic kernel panic error

excuse the vertical lines on the display likely due to haiku not being optimized for OLED panels

I think, both are known issues (I2C pads and shutdown issue on newer CPUs).

good to know

Not the same setup, but got a AMD Ryzen7 laptop here that came with Windows11 on it (new), I was lucky there was an empty space on the disk for about 300GiB, installed Haiku (64bit) on a 100GiB partition and created a 200GiB partition for data(work partition). Then copied the EFI file to the right place, it’s been a blast so far (can live without trackpad), Windows hardly ever boots on this install. :slight_smile:
