How's the linux support?



I'm running Linux on mine!

I had to use modern linux (Fedora).

Worked out great. Previously I had been on Debain family distros like Ubuntu and Mint. I had no idea those were so outdated/crappy until I tried Fedora.

Now I'm a complete Fedora convert. Fedora is sooo nice.


You can use Debian Sid which is modern and stable, also for others who think that Debian is too old, the true Debian for desktop is only Sid imho


Haha I'm never going back to Debian family.

I used to think Linux was kind of a cheap crappy knockoff OS. Nope, just Debain-family distros.

After using Fedora, I continue to feel like I'm in the year 2030. I genuinely feel bad for Windows users because they havent tried something as nice as Fedora.


Got a 2021 G14. Running Fedora Kinoite, everything works except fingerprint reader. Super stable, KDE Wayland on AMD iGPU and running Steam games using the Nvidia dGPU. Battery life not great - it's a gaming laptop! But fans are quiet. It's a great portable workstation, especially with 40G RAM. And it was _cheap_.


Generalny shitty and depends on the line. Their newest Zenbook line had multple non-working components (sound amongst them) for years. And they came with partially broken BIOSes which aren't going to be ever fixed. Also my OLED screen unglued itself 2 weeks after the warranty ended.
