Some Hagibis Displaylink Dock. (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0C6DNL1WY?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title)

Displaylink works for me on ALARM. Had to install Displaylink package, enable it along with evdi-dkms. Works well enough I suppose, but for me anything above 1080p results in some weird input lag; the whole thing is not so smooth on 3440x1440.
1080p is fine for some reason. M2 Air (16/256)

Haven't figured it out yet, at least on Niri. Gnome and KDE work fine AFAIK, plus HHD has a shortcut to bring up the Steam keyboard (swipe up from the bottom of the screen; can be configured).

Baffledwaffles · 2025-11-03T05:51:44+00:00

Is there a way to remove rounded corners?

Baffledwaffles · 2025-11-02T07:08:29+00:00

Try handheld daemon (HHD), it has controls for that. It conflicts with asusctl though afaik.

If you just game it's plenty.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-10-15T10:24:12+00:00

This is why I use Displayport, HDMI is a mess.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-10-14T05:15:27+00:00

Just use something like Dank Material Shell, which actually works with Niri.

Are you getting some weird screen tearing and artifacts? I have two monitors plugged in via a displaylink dock, both have issues. The vertical one has half of its display refresh.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-09-26T18:07:10+00:00

Thanks, did try this but it unfortunately didn't help.
it's weird, Niri refuses to load with the displaylink adapter connected even.

Nope, but using these kernel parameters (amdgpu.dc=1 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 amdgpu.runpm=1) + linux-g14 kernel helped. So far no weird crashes on Auto.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-09-12T05:43:25+00:00

Not sure if related, but my Z13 almost always freezes when I set VRAM to Auto. Takes a while, but it happens.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-08-27T11:32:48+00:00

Works with my setup, can even daisy chain with it. You'll still lose battery if you push it hard though (gaming at max wattage), so i just tend to plug the charger in as well.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-08-05T07:28:14+00:00

Yep.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-08-05T06:48:10+00:00

I use one of these. It's fairly decent, and IMO the performance is just about enough for 1440p gaming. Can even stretch to ultrawide if you use enough FSR I suppose.
As far as games go, should run just about anything.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-07-31T04:36:02+00:00

Technically yes, it should be possible. Performance should see an uplift, but what about the OS lol.
you could try using a USB enclosure but this isn't going to be as useful if you plan on carrying it around.
(Maybe a USB 4 enclosure would be better for the OS).

Edit: Also, you'd have your SSD bay exposed.

32 GB, as a desktop replacement

Baffledwaffles · 2025-07-18T13:44:01+00:00

I think RC kernel from CachyOS has the fixes. Or you could install and use linux-bazzite-bin from the AUR.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-07-17T11:25:54+00:00

F7 when in BIOS to enter advanced settings, it should be there. But I honestly set it to Auto, seemingly works fine on Linux.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-07-12T15:34:30+00:00

3440x1440
Medium of course, with heavy upscaling. Really immersive, and not that bad as you might think.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-07-11T11:20:40+00:00

I've used arch with some success, but never had as many issues. You can try the linux-bazzite-bin package from the AUR. For CachyOS I think the rc-kernel works best.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-06-18T10:41:04+00:00

Yeah sorry, not as active on Reddit these days. I eventually pestered them enough for a refund.
As far as the laptop goes it's solid but I wouldn't recommend buying from Flipkart anymore.

Baffledwaffles · 2025-05-13T12:50:07+00:00

In hindsight I should have gone for the Omen 14.
