asusctl VS ExplorerPatcher

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

> Windows 11 brings absolutely nothing on the table

It also removes a leg from the table, the one labelled 'usability'.

Attaching a 3rd-party leg to fill the gap helps (https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher), but it's not an ideal solution

ExplorerPatcher

I had more problems with it being wide, merging all app windows in a single icon, showing only icon rather then app title, and not being able to move to top of screen

That may be fixed with https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher which restores win10 bar, there's no builtin solution to any of the above afaik

Thanks for letting me know. I looked into it, and apparently it's still even possible to activate on later versions of Windows with registry edits and helper software: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/discussions/167

Not going to install something that seems so vague, but I do use ExplorerPatcher [1] on my Windows 11 machines to basically re-create Windows 10 UI and fix all of the annoyances I have with Windows 11. I've got the old right click menu, the old task bar, the old alt-tab interface, pretty much the whole thing. Only reason I use Windows 11 over Windows 10 is because Windows 11 seems to handle my triple monitor setup better, especially when waking up from sleep.
