This page contains information and tips for installing and configuring Arch Linux on the Asus Zenbook UX32A.

## Installation

The installation should work with no problems and wifi should work out of the box. The UX32A ships in two versions: either with 500 GB HDD + 24 GB SSD or with 128 GB HDD and 128 GB SSD. Since 24 GB is more then enough for a full Arch Linux installation, it is recommended to install at least the non-home partitions onto the SSD.

Warning: This could lead to problems if Windows stays installed on the same machine.

## Compatibility

Most things work without problems. To control the keyboard backlight, you have to follow the instructions here: ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A#Keyboard backlight.

## Function keys

The following function keys work:

- Standby (`Fn+F1`)
- Screen brightness (`Fn+F5/F6`)
- Turn Screen on/off (`Fn+F7`)

The other keys are recognised and yield the specific signal with the exception of the Presentation Mode (`Fn+F8`), which only yields 'p' and the wifi button, which is not recognised at all.
