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.
What software do you use to get that overlay on the top left?
It’s mangohud+goverlay
This is also my first time using a screen above 60hz, and I gotta say it’s pretty smooth to move around the desktop.
Hell yeah, it’s kinda mind bending isn’t it? Feels like dragging the mouse through sand when going back to 60Hz after getting used to it haha
True, I hope this doesn’t ruins 60hz for me because most of my screen are 60hz XD.
Been there done that 🥲
Yeah, took me some time to figure out too
Careful with those laptops though, they run really hot. I have the same one and my dedicated GPU is broken, possibly from overheating but I will admit I can’t know for sure.
In college I had an aluminum body laptop that mostly sat in its dock. I cut a sheet of thermal gap fill to the size of two heatsinks and put one over the cpu and one over the gpu. It shaved off a few degrees
