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 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.

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.
