From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
Can confirm that the asusd and and asus-linux work fine on Bluefin and Ubuntu/mint; the Devs dont support X11 (which Mint is still on), but you can build it with the X11 flags on the GH repo and it works fine.
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.
You should watch some of the recent drama about Asus and reconsider.
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?
Dude if you are able to use arch without difficulties, you can use ubuntu or fedora as well without any issues. And arch should have good support for asus-kernel and nvidia drivers through pre compiled binaries so even if you stick with arch, it won't be an issue
