@PhatLe I’m running discrete ARC DG2 gpu’s here (a 310 and a 380), some fun getting both to work, so only have the 380 in at present, aside from that, oneapi works, opencl 3 etc, handbrake uses qsv, ffmpeg work… Looking forward to the Mesa 24.2 update and see where the Xe driver is at.
Intel has released beta NPU drivers for Linux already that I have found out and blender, gimp, inkscape etc are pushing NPU support for tasks too so I am really excited for this one
I might get openSUSE for spin Aeon might be good option too
Oh and I have read lots of supported drivers and stuff is on 6.12 kernels coming
ASUS are known for heavily customizing their laptops, especially the leading edge ones, so don’t be surprised if “advanced features” like the special touchpad features don’t work out of the box or if you cannot get decent sound from those 4 HK speakers (just as an example).
Yeah I had similar issues on first year with Dell XPS 15 9510 it takes some time before drivers and support comes to Linux fully
Touchpad features I am ok if touchpad works at first special features later is bonus, sounds I use at home 2.1 speakers and on the road and office pixel buds pro 2 so that’s all good for now too and bonus if works later
