I can't find specific listed support for this model through asusctl, but it definitely supports similar models. There is a very good chance everything with asusctl will work out of the box, and if not, open a ticket and they'll help figure out what would need to be changed to add support. asusctl supports stuff like fan curve control, aura sync (RGB stuff), throttling profiles, and GPU mode (hybrid/integrated/dedicated) switching, all in Linux. There is a GUI frontend for it that comes with it called rog-control-center if you don't wanna use command line, but it will have fewer features exposed.

You can find info about it at their GitHub:

UPDATE: Looks like in the compatibility list, the last letter can sometimes be omitted, so it does look like your model (G513QY) is in fact supported, as G513Q is listed in the supported devices list. That should mean most main functions work.

Not this specific model, but I can give you the brief rundown of how it will work with Linux because of the dual GPU setup:

• HDMI is almost guaranteed to be tied to the Nvidia (unless there are two ports)
• Video out for AMD will be on a USB-C (get a USBC to HDMI or DP cable)
• You'll need to reboot and change the BIOS settings to switch between dGPU and iGPU
• you likely will not have all the special ASUS buttons working OOT
• battery will suck because ASUS

You could try PopOS for the graphics switching, but it still requires a logout/login to switch between the cards, meanwhile the Nvidia hardware will still draw power if not disabled in the BIOS.

Unless you're dead set on having Nvidia hardware in a laptop format for Linux, I'd look at getting a Framework Refurb units. The 6800M is more than capable of running 4 displays without an issue if you're just talking about desktop work. Would probably struggle on 2 displays for gaming at 1080p.

Check out the linux hardware database entries. Seems to be working fine.

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.

Got the non-advantage... It's running A1.
