ASUS Linux does work but on TUF laptops, it doesn't have controls like undervolting, setting up power limits, gpu modes, refresh rates and so many options. G-Helper is the only thing keeping me (and pretty sure a lot of users) from switching to Linux full time. I wish you guys would collab and make a powerful tool for linux users like you made G-Helper for windows users :)

@nilaysriv we actually do collab in a way.

I think Luke (author of asusctl) was using some of the reverse-engineering findings that I had. And I in turn used some of his findings for RGB controls when I was starting this app :)

That's awesome. I hope Linux gets better AMD APU tuning and something a bit closer to G-Helper. It'd be amazing

I came here to second g-helper on Linux. I think your UI is simple and clean. It would be awesome to use it on Bazzite.

@pmkelly545 what exact features from G-Helper do you miss at asusctl app on linux ?

Probably setting TDP values for GPU and CPU, with the different profiles. I also am not switching from windows because of your app haha

Same for me as well. Asus linux just doesn't work well on my new laptop. I also can't use just my NVIDIA card.

Maybe this will work for you guys https://g-helper-linux.elevatech.xyz/

If something does not work, open an issue with details
