  • In your opinion: Is Wayland ready for Prime Time?

    I've been running Nobara Project on it for the last few months, and have been very pleased with Wayland, even with an Nvidia dGPU. You will need to (build this to adjust brightness on the smaller screen)[https://github.com/Plippo/asus-wmi-screenpad], but I haven't had any unsolvable issues (for me, at least) since doing that.
  • Binary /lib/modules/6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64/build/scripts/sign-file not found sudo dkms build -m asus-wmi -v 1.0 sudo dkms install -m asus-wmi -v 1.0

    I just installed Fedora 37 (dual boot with windows), and, since I have an Asus Zenbook Pro Duo, I needed a solution to handle better the second screen. I found this blog post which seems to be perfect for my problem. It led to this github repo which needed dkms and the kernel headers as prerequisites.
  • I definitely enjoy using the screenpad with Linux more than I did with windows.

    But unfortunately brightness control doesn't work for the 2nd screen out of the box on Linux. But someone already did the hard work to write a kernel module for it, then I only had to write an AUR package and a GNOME extension to sync it with the main screen
  • Finally installed my webcam drivers. Silly winblows users thinking its easier with M$

    It was pretty easy on my UX481FLY. Just had to install this module (also made an AUR package for it) and write a small GNOME extension to sync brightness between screens and make some keys work (although it's not done yet. Currently it syncs brightness and makes the toggle on/off and screenshot keys work)
  • Bottom Bar!

    Really well on most distros, but for some reason it hangs occasionally on my arch install (but that's probably just an issue with how I installed/configured it, since it works perfectly in other distros. Or it might be because my home directory is stored on an SD card and not the SSD). Since there are multiple models, I have the UX481FLY, with an i7-10510U, 16GB RAM, Intel as primary GPU, and GeForce MX250 as secondary GPU. And not a GNOME issue, but bottom screen brightness control isn't supported by default, you need to install the asus-wmi-screenpad kernel module. And even with this module, it sadly isn't integrated into the DE, so you need to control it from the terminal. I might try learning how to make GNOME extensions in the future, so I can integrate it properly.
