    afaik, if u use the proprietary nvidia drivers and the https://asus-linux.org kernel, u should be good to go. and also, according to this, fedora is the recommended distro of choice by the asus-linux team, but u should find guides for other distros that also support the asus-linux kernel on that website

      currently I already have a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 with Ryzen 3 7320u that’s why I can get away with just running Arch and Wayland without any problems, and I can’t use Ubuntu or Debian even Fedora based distro really well because it’s too hard for me, so no buy I guess?

        Dude if you are able to use arch without difficulties, you can use ubuntu or fedora as well without any issues. And arch should have good support for asus-kernel and nvidia drivers through pre compiled binaries so even if you stick with arch, it won’t be an issue

      This is really cool! I had no idea that asus had Linux support. I just skimmed their site, are all their current models supported?

      I’ll have to consider them next time I get a computer.
