asusctl VS ExpansionCards

If you're interested in ASUS laptops (they have some very good and powerful models), you can check out this website: https://asus-linux.org/

My gaming laptop has been faithfully running Tumbleweed for 8 months. The people at Asus-Linux have done a great job with bringing over every feature I've wanted.

Have you installed the https://asus-linux.org/ utilities? Either way, you could ask in the asus-linux discord server since I figure they'd probably know how to solve this.

I know I'm a little late, but anyways... Since you're using Fedora, I'd highly recommend AsusCTL. This was the only way I could get mine to stop charging past a certain point. :)

I think Ubuntu 22.04 with the default kernel will likely cause issues or not even work at all unfortunately. It is really recommended to use the latest Fedora or Arch for the best experience: https://asus-linux.org/

I've followed the guides on asus-linux.org.

Post your questions in r/linuxhardware. You might get some insight into the issues you are encountering. Also, since you have an Asus laptop check out ==> https://asus-linux.org/

look at asus-linux.org it has some resources on how to setup rog hardware in linux.

The will most likely recommend the Asus-Linux site as well: https://asus-linux.org

I think the SD module won't be able to have the card flush, as the modules are only and SD cards are 32mm long, and you need some PCB space for the socket cage and the USB-C on the other side. The retrofit PCB outline they provide is only 26.9mm from front edge to back edge, so an SD card will stick out a little bit.

So perhaps they decided to go for the one that lets users have the card flush for use like an expansion bay as well as for data transfer to/from devices.

There are many laptops and desktops that fit the bill.

Frame.work: https://frame.work/

Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000138246/linux-on-...

System76: https://system76.com/laptops

Kubuntu Focus: https://kfocus.org/land/business

I am sure there are more, this is only what I have found in less than 5 minutes of searching.

I'll buy a frame.work long before I touch system76. Their prices are too high for the general feedback I keep seeing on the quality control. I'm not spending 3k+ to be out a laptop until support responds. Especially, considering they still don't make these in house..

No they didn't, companies just mostly gave up on it.

A Framework Laptop (https://frame.work)

You could get a Framework 13 which comes with your choice of a 7840U or 7640U and a Radeon 780M iGPU. They do officially support Linux, and you don't have to pay for a Windows license, if you go the DIY option and chose to not get a Windows license.

Take a look at the Framework laptops. They're 100% modular so if stuff like that goes bad you can simply order the replacement part and do it yourself. I'm using a desktop right now but Ithink my next laptop is gonna be a framework.

a couple of days ago I tried to order a Framework laptop (13 inch AMD). I chose to create an account during the checkout process and provided my email address. After entering my shipping details, I authorized the transfer of the deposit fee via Giropay. The deposit was deducted from my bank account but when I was sent back to the frame.work website I was greeted by an error message. Unfortunately I could neither complete the checkout process nor continue my account registration.
