Installation

Before installing Arch Linux, it may be required to disable the built-in Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers in the BIOS.

Note Disabling the NVIDIA GPU at any point will disable the HDMI port, and the USB-C port closest to the 3.5mm aux jack.

Accessibility

Firmware

During boot, press F2 or Del to enter the BIOS menu. You can also press Esc to select the boot device.

Out of the box, the laptop has a boot animation with audio. In the BIOS setup menu, you can disable the audio by navigating to Advanced Mode (F7), and setting Animation Post Logo Audio in the Advanced tab to Disabled. You cannot disable the animation.

Disable IRST drivers

In the BIOS setup menu, you can disable the IRST drivers by navigating to Advanced Mode (F7) , and set Enable VMD Controller in the VMD Setup menu on the Advanced tab to Disabled.

Audio

Audio functions out of the box from kernel versions starting from 6.7. For older kernels, see the fix on ASUS Linux Wiki if you experience distorted audio, which is likely due to bass speakers or the amplifier not initializing correctly.

Audio from the internal speakers is handled by the Intel card, while external monitors connected through the HDMI or USB-C port closest to the 3.5mm aux jack are handled by the NVIDIA card.

Keyboard LED

Should work out of the box with the latest version of asusctl.
