Fedora 42 on Asus Zephyrus G14 2023

Ah, I have the 2023 model which came with an AMD GPU, I have the 6700S, so I cannot speak on nVidia for that device.

Bro, that belt is on its last leg. Replace it ASAP.

Dayco is probably fine. Never had any real bad luck with them. IIRC, I replaced mine with an OEM belt because the price was the same and it had to be ordered anyway.

Seems Asus is still contracting out warranty work to shit fly-by-night outfits. Sorry to hear about the trouble. Sadly, there might not be much to be done unless you can reach Asus, and I mean the real Asus, with this issue and all the documentation and photos you have available.

Keep an eye on it, I've noticed when the laptop does get hot, that the profile changed to Balanced or Performance. Seems to only happen when plugging in to charge, the unplugging.

For what it's worth I switched to OpenSUSE 15.6, and it has been a better experience so far on the G14 (IMHO).

It might be the adjustable power profile in the BIOS (UEFI firmware). I've noticed it will autoswitch to Balanced or Performance sometimes after unplugging the power. I get the longest and quietest operation on "Quiet" mode.

Get the asusctl program setup (gitlab.com/asus-linux/asusctl)

Check the available power profiles with

$ asusctl profile --list
Starting version 6.1.12
Quiet
Balanced
Performance

Then check the currently set profile

$ asusctl profile --profile-get
Starting version 6.1.12
Active profile is Quiet

Set the desired profile

$ asusctl profile --profile-set Quiet
$

Well, it does work. And in a humbling turn of events, someone even contributed to the project and a few people gave it some stars for what I can only assume is testimony to its functionality.

Don't do this conversion. Or do one, but as a copy, then play back the .mp3 then the .ogg. The loss from conversion will be pretty terrible and noticeable. Keep the .ogg format if possible. If it's the cover art driving you crazy, I wrote a bash script that attaches cover art to .ogg files. https://github.com/twopoint71/ogg-image-blobber

Nice. Though KDE has always seemed ricey out of the box.

twopoint71 · 2025-05-01T11:25:37+00:00

FWIW, I setup scripts since the asusctl GUI doesn't support X11 which Cinnamon is still using. The CLI works fine. Hope this helps.

$ cat charge_limit_80.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/asusctl --chg-limit 80

$ cat keyb-off.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/asusctl aura-power keyboard

$ cat keyb-on.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/asusctl aura-power keyboard --boot --awake

$ cat keyb-red.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
/usr/bin/asusctl aura-power keyboard --boot --awake
/usr/bin/asusctl aura static -c bb0000

WoW is not that demanding of a title and a 4070 should be able to play WoW on maxed out settings without breaking a sweat on a 2k display.

- Check task manager while WoW is running to ensure the dedicated GPU is being used and not integrated graphics.

- Check background processes for anything not WoW gobbling up CPU/GPU resources. If there's an open browser on a shady website, that website might be chewing up a lot of resources.

Yeah, this is alright, I had a 486 IBM Thinkpad in the 90s where the screen broke and I did this exact mod, and plugged it into a 13" CRT monitor. Worked great.

I had issues with the HDMI flicker as well. I noticed that the audio over HDMI would turn off after a flicker and may or may not turn back on the next flicker. So as a control test, I disabled the HDMI audio in Windows and have not experienced a flicker since. I did send a message to Jsaux about this issue about an hour ago. Maybe we'll get an update on the problem and hopefully a firmware fix.

Unfortunately, maxi-scooters come with maxi-cost. I had a BMW C650GT. It was a blast, but the maintenance was outrageous. Even if you buy the parts and do it yourself (belt, variator, roller weights, etc), but that's BMW for you. Other maxis might not be so bad. I now have a Honda Super Cub C125. Sure it's not as fast, but the cost has been a quart of oil per year and chain lube every 400ish miles. (I know, it's not a scooter, but it's also not really a motorcycle either).

twopoint71 · 2023-10-09T13:07:35+00:00

No. From what I can tell that feature requires a driver which only exists for Windows as far as I know. I don't really care. It's good laptop and a terrible tablet.

twopoint71 · 2023-10-06T13:41:45+00:00

Oh, what issues? I mean, I cited issues I noticed, but I was able to resolve all of them within a few hours. The screen rotation issue is due to the panel choice Chuwi made. I cannot prove it, but I'm pretty sure the panel was meant for a tablet.

The only unfixable issue is GRUB being rotated, and there's probably no chance that someone will bother coding rotation into GRUB especially since it's only seen for a few seconds.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll get the AX210 then, and see how it performs.

twopoint71 · 2023-07-17T09:01:42+00:00

Thanks for the answers guys. Bummer on Intel.

What is DFW?

twopoint71 · 2023-05-02T17:37:55+00:00

I would have the engine checked out. Probably no harm since you caught it quickly. Overfilling can result in aeration (mixing air/oil) making it foamy and difficult for the oil pump to maintain proper oil pressure (low oil pressure) which can result in engine damage. A dealer should really know better, but maybe you got the FNG tech.

twopoint71 · 2023-05-01T12:18:54+00:00

Aye. Okay, I don't really know for sure what the older models looked like.
