From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wasted 2h trying to figure out why GTA V only run at 35fps and use 25w of power, turn out my dumb ass set power profiles daemon to powersaving mode and forgot about it. (lemmy.ml)

I just got this laptop (Asus TUF A15 2021) today and it surprised me that everything works just fine out of the box on Vanilla Arch, except NVIDIA gpu I had to install it manually on battery power that's why I enable powersaving mode. As for games performance it's basically the same as windows no more no less.

Might be worth checking out, not positive it supports your laptop but if it does it might give you control over some bells and whistles like fan curves and lighting.

Doesn't work for kernels newer than 6.13 if I recall correctly. Tried to install it last month. I'm running Garuda Arch, and kernel 6.15, even having the repository active completely borks pacman.

Edit: it's an active project, so keep an eye on it. Or install CatchyOS as it's now standard there.

Edit²: I'm going to have another stab at it, possibly fucked something up? Idk, I was following the instructions, and everything was fine until I added the Repos to pacman.

Running arch as well and have it installed. Works just fine with linux-g14 kernel and headers. I use the zen kernel mostly so i don't have the armory settings most of the time because I use zen but everything else works.

Just did a pacman -Q | grep linux and my linux-g14 is on 6.15.2 and zen is on 6.15.3.

Did you add the keys?

Hm. Maybe I'll take another shot. I was following the instructions, got as far as installing the keys, adding the Repos didn't work, it broke pacman.
