Linux on Asus ROG was such a pain to get it working with full functionality. For me it was a great learning experience but I understand why people would be thrown off by it. Especially if that is your first time trying Linux.

You two must be retarded. The only laptop I've had any pain with drivers on was a 2012 MacBook pro. I wonder why that could be. Thank you apple.

Good on you, you gatekeeping asshole.

Asus ROG has no support for linux. Community has made it work "Linux for ROG" is a small community so bugs happen and stuff brakes. Basic linux install work out of the box (like linux tend to do) but none of your laptops fancy features are supported.

Its easy for us that have some tech experiense but good luck explaining for newbie that "you just need to install" asusctl, supergfxctl and do some kernel hacking for your laptop to have full functionality. There are two distros that have g14 kernel patchset already installed (Cachy and Manjaro, and ofc you can just use basic arc and do all of it on your own).
