    afaik, if u use the proprietary nvidia drivers and the https://asus-linux.org kernel, u should be good to go. and also, according to this, fedora is the recommended distro of choice by the asus-linux team, but u should find guides for other distros that also support the asus-linux kernel on that website

      This is really cool! I had no idea that asus had Linux support. I just skimmed their site, are all their current models supported?

      I’ll have to consider them next time I get a computer.

      Can confirm that the asusd and and asus-linux work fine on Bluefin and Ubuntu/mint; the Devs dont support X11, but you can build it with the X11 flags on the GH repo and it works fine.

      currently I already have a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 with Ryzen 3 7320u that’s why I can get away with just running Arch and Wayland without any problems, and I can’t use Ubuntu or Debian even Fedora based distro really well because it’s too hard for me, so no buy I guess?
