Anyone got the Asus Strix G15 Advantage? How is it with Linux? (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: Works out of the box. For best experience you'll want Fedora or Arch or SUSE which provide the asusctl package for modifying things usually only available on the ROG Control Centre for Windows. Dual graphics output from HDMI/DP also worked after an initial update and some reboots.

I'm looking at a pretty solid deal for the QHD model right now and I'm wondering if anyone has the same model already. How's the dual GPU setup?

I'm sorta hoping the 6800M can drive both display outputs without much hassle because I used to have to reboot when I had a 1650 mobile system in order to use the HDMI ports (they wouldn't output unless the desktop was running exclusively on the dGPU).

Assuming this is the few years old model (G513QY) it works great. Been running it primarily on Arch BTW for the last few years and there were some challenges initially but all the drivers etc. have caught up. Only thing I'm still stuck with is getting VR running in Linux, but in theory that's possible.

I've got the same model, the QHD variant. It seems to be working great now I've got it on Fedora KDE. PopOS is a little bit too clunky with the Ubuntu base.
