atrofac vs asusctl

atrofac

A library and a command line application to control the power plan, and the fan curve (CPU & GPU) of Asus Zephyrus G14 devices (might also work with other devices that use the Armoury Crate Service). Fanless mode is possible as long as the GPU & CPU temperatures are not too hot (even on battery). (by cronosun)

G14 2022 without Armory Crate (and question of how to enable Ultimate Mode / MUX switch)
3 projects | /r/ZephyrusG14 | 2 Feb 2023

Atrofac GUI https://github.com/cronosun/atrofac - a lightweight utility to switch between power profiles (Silent / Performance / Turbo). It's designed for 2020 model, but it works for 2022 too. Main trick here that it's not only adjusting fan-modes that many other apps do, but also adjusts overal TDP of a CPU/GPU! (125W on Turbo, 60W on Performance, etc)

How can I limit battery charge to 60% in Fedora
1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 21 Oct 2023

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. :)
Any issues with dual booting Ubuntu 22.04?
1 project | /r/ZephyrusG14 | 17 Aug 2023

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/
