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).

Ah, sorry, the "Advantage" model skips the Nvidia hardware.

Should be mostly fine then on Linux, aside from the other ASUS-isms mentioned above.

I've had an Nvidia based laptop too so I know the general weirdness you get with dual GPU setups, but as long as it doesn't act any MORE weird than that then I'm happy enough
