This page is a set of instructions, known issues, tips and workarounds for installing and configuring Arch Linux on the ASUS N56-VJ/VZ and ASUS N76-VJ/VZ Laptops

Installation

Note: Since these laptops' BIOS does not support legacy boot, please read UEFI, GPT and Arch boot process#Boot loader pages before following further instructions.
Note: To choose a boot device: please press Escape after machine starts and then choose the suitable installation source e.g. USB Installation Media.

An installation process is quite common. Please refer to the Installation guide regarding installation on machines with UEFI motherboards. Please be advised that you do not need to create/format EFI partition in case you want to keep Windows 8 installed.
