Obligatory plug for G-Helper:
github.com/seerge/g-helper
It’s everything Armoury Crate should have been and not a drop more.

I’ve been squinting at this GitHub page for so long but still can’t tell if it runs on Linux. “It’s just an exe, bro” “download the zip, bro” “we used the Linux kernel during development” ??? okay?

asusctl
, maybesupergfxctl
, and possibly some kernel modules.wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Linux
wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/ASUS
