I would love to get much of the basic functions in to the kernel but the kernel is very dense and unforgiving to read through to even get started. Right now, certain things either don't work, or require me to build custom kernels from source (in saying that, approximately 90-95% of the stuff "just works").Īnd I'm lazy, so the things that don't work or don't work properly just sit there doing nothing.ĭev here. I have an ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481FL dual-display/screen laptop, which shares some of the "unique" functionality of the 'ROG' range, and it would be nice to see these changes trickle down to me eventually.
to the Linux Kernel Team), or if they intend to do so in the future? But it's expensive, especially if you don't live in America.Īny idea if the changes in these projects are being pushed upstream (i.e. System76 have a good gaming laptop with (native) Linux support. Hard to find good gaming laptop with good linux support. Quoting: Cyba.Cowboy Quoting: DevastatoriusGood news. Going even further, there's even now another project aimed at supporting AMD based ASUS laptops. See the ROG-Core project here and the ZephyrusBling project here. How could you not love that though? Brilliant bit of useless flashy tech for the super nerd to show off a bit. While I have no need of it, I suddenly feel like I need it.
It's gained a bit of a following now too, and has spawned another project with ZephyrusBling which builds upon ROG-Core to allow owners of the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 with the AniMe Matrix LED display on the back to do things like this: Per-key LED settings, fancy LED modes, modifying built-in LED modes, a Daemon mode, various system control options like screen brightness and Touchpad toggle, hotkeys for things like media controls and more. It also shows how hardware vendors could and should be doing it if a few people hacking away in their free time can do it so well. Impressive progress for something so new. While it started off initially focusing on the Zephyrus GX502GW, which the author of the project owned, it's now progressed onto supporting quite a lot of models including: GM501, GX502, GX531, G512, G712, G531, G532 and more like GA14/GA401 depending on kernel patches. Frustrating for Linux buyers of course but great to see a community project spring up to allow Linux users to fully appreciate their kit. This special 'Republic Of Gamers' brand of ASUS laptops (available here) comes with a bunch of flashy features, most of which are only directly supported on Windows. Back in April we revealed the ROG-Core project, with an aim to better support ASUS ROG laptops on Linux and it seems it's really coming along nicely now.
