Just a list of all configuration I have done on this particular laptop while I have had it.
If you are installing Linux on this laptop, or any related laptop, just know that the keyboard will NOT work because it needs an irq override patch.
Any kernel before 6.1 needs to have this patch applied manually, and at this point in time, that is most kernels for most distros except for Arch.
The patch in question can be found here.
Rebuild the kernel after applying this.
The media keys for F8 and F7 don't show any syms when checked with wev as
though they don't exist, on my machine.
Function keys and not media keys are set by default. So pressing F5 doesn't
increase the volume, but does F5. This is highly annoying, and to change it,
put this in your /etc/modprobe.d/*name of file*.conf:
options asus_wmi fnlock_default=N
You can find the current value in /sys/module/asus_wmi/parameters/fnlock_default
My headphones don't like when pipewire does automatic switching of HSP/HFP and A2DP profiles, and it crackles the audio.
Adding this to ~/.config/wireplumber/policy.lua.d/11-bluetooth-policy.lua
fixes the issue:
bluetooth_policy.policy["media-role.use-headset-profile"] = false
This is on wireplumber. If you are using pipewire-media-session, refer to this
Arch Wiki article on pipewire.
NOTE: as of pipewire version 0.3.71, this no longer occurs, and the file
can be removed or commented out with -- as per the lua language.
