asusctl VS asusctl-gex

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

Great project! I just wanted to point out that asusctl and asusctl-gex exist which allow for even more configuration.

Switching Graphic: Pop!_OS's built-in system76-power works out of box, 4 modes: Dedicated Only Integrated Only Hybrid Graphic and Compute Graphic(turns off dGPU all the time unless you really want to use it). However, it requires a reboot each time. There is a better solution called asusctl, if you planning use GNOME there is a easy GUI for that: asusctl-gex. Difference: ASUSCTL only requires log out, but system76-power needs reboot.

At the moment, the key (at least with the ubuntu distro) is to install the development version of ubuntu 22 (which official version will be released on April 21 I think). This is because ubuntu 22 comes out of the box with kernel 5.15, a required kernel for three nice asus-linux repositories on gitlab: asusctl, asusctl-gex, supergfxctl. This gives access to nearly every needed feature for this laptop, such as GPU switching, power profiles, and some UI interfaces.

There'a a package called supergfxctl which lets you switch GPU modes, and if you want a GUI version then there's a gnome extension asusctl-gex. Works just fine.

I need to install whatever this is so that I could install the power profiles daemon which is so that I could have access to changing my fan speed in asusctl-gex which is so that I can use my laptop with fedora normally.

I am using the asusctl-gex extension for switching graphics from the top-bar. I have installed it from the source $ sudo pacman -S nodejs npm $ git clone [email protected]:asus-linux/asusctl-gex.git /tmp/asusctl-gex && cd /tmp/asusctl-gex $ npm install $ npm run build && npm run install-user After installation run Alt + F2 then r to reload the gnome shell. There are prebuilt packages available for this same extension.

I am using the [asusctl-gex extension](https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl-gex) for switching graphics from the top-bar.

Well, currently I'm using kernel stable: 5.12.14 asusctl working. I did try mainline: 5.13 got black screen had to remove completely. If you have a problem switching between iGPU and dGPU try asusctl-gex but need to logout caused Feroda don't have refresh.

It's https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl-gex which uses https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl internally
