Fedora 35 Setup with an ASUS Zephyrus G14 2020 model

This Git repo describes how I setup the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (GA401IV) with Fedora 35 including a GNOME Shell extension to switch between GPUs and ROG profiles.

This is not for the 2021 model

This is my personal config, no official guide.
If you want support from the asus-linux community please have a look at the official install guide here: https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/
This guide will also get you a fully functional 2021 G14 if you are looking for this.

Installation process

1. Follow the guide on https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/

2. copy all the files to the appropriate directories

git clone https://github.com/hyphone/asus-g14-fedora.git
cd asus-g14-fedora
cp -R etc/* /etc/
systemd-hwdb update
udevadm trigger
systemctl enable asusctl_hibernate.service

we clone this repo

we go to the repo directory

we copy everything in this repo of etc to /etc/

mod the keyboard that page up / down is mapped to fn+up/down while home (pos1) / end is mapped to fn+left/right

you can use brightnessctl -d asus::kbd_backlight s +1 and brightnessctl -d asus::kbd_backlight s 1- and map this to a key of your choice in your desktop environment

asus_hibernate.service restarts asusd after hibernation to re-apply the battery charge limit.

3. install brightnessctl

dnf install brightnessctl

brightnessctl is used for controlling the keyboard backlight as I'm overriding the default keys with page up / down before. you can map brightnessctl then in your DE to a key you want.

4. Reboot

5. You can switch your prefered graphics mode via the GNOME Shell extension "asusctl-gex" or with "supergfxctl -m (graphics mode)"
