Installation
Press the
Esc
key when the ROG logo appears to enter the laptop's UEFI. To boot into the installation medium, disable
Secure Boot
in the UEFI interface by deleting all related keys after backing up your keys. It is recommended to use a wired network during installation because wireless network connections can be non-trivial to deal with for now (see
#Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
).
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on this device are supported by MediaTek mt7922, which is driven by
mt7921e
. As of kernel 6.4.2 in July 2023, two kernel patches and firmware updates are still required. First check your device with:
$ lspci -k | grep --after-context=2 MT7922
04:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
	Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
	Kernel driver in use: mt7921e
	Kernel modules: mt7921e
It is likely that one will lack the line
Kernel modules: mt7921e
without further setup since the kernel module is not properly loaded.
Start with a fresh boot, i.e. completely shutdown your device and boot your device; one might encounter an error log similar to this in the
journal
:
[59007.600714] mt7921e 0000:02:00.0: ASIC revision: 79220010
[59010.889773] mt7921e 0000:02:00.0: Message 00000010 (seq 1) timeout

[59014.217839] mt7921e 0000:02:00.0: Message 00000010 (seq 2) timeout
It is recommended to
patch to fix device init failed
so that Wi-Fi can work. Further, to support Bluetooth, another
kernel patch
should be applied.

Due to the insufficient amplifier setup (Cirrus Logic CS35L41) on Linux, the sound turned out to be tiny. Follow
the guide on asus-linux
and
add quick with this kernel patch (for 6.4.2)
[

to fix the issue. In general, one might need to
Dump ACPI table and patch SSDT
Install and load the SSDT patch with the corresponding boot-loader
Apply the aforementioned kernel patch
When all the problems have been solved, the log might look like this,

If there is a lack of some line, e.g. the firmware is not successfully loaded, one should check if the
kernel patch

is patched successfully.
Tip
One can find the patched and verified SSDT at
ssdt_csc3551.dsl
and follow the
instruction
to install.
Recommendations
ASUS Linux
ASUS Linux
is a project that enhances ASUS laptops' user experience with a series of utils, including:
asusctl
enables platform profile control, GPU mode switch, and BIOS control, etc.
supergfxctl
enhances GPU mode switch
Note
More information can be find on
ASUS Linux
. It is recommended to read this page for novice.
Known issues
mini-led is not enabled if
amdgpu
is used even after
this kernel patch
, while booting with
AsusMuxDgpu
in
supergfxctl
works well.
Booting with discrete GPU results in a black second display.
The refresh rate under KDE with the Xorg backend is significantly low. Wayland is recommended for two screens, with DPI scales of 1.0 and 1.5, correspondingly.
S0ix mode (see
Power management/Suspend and hibernate
) is not working.
After upgrading to BIOS version 306 (released in 2023/07/19), the screen turns white in KDE and flash under Wayland. The solution is to add
amdgpu.sg_display=0
to
kernel parameters
.
