ASUS Armoury Driver Supports A Few More Laptops With Linux 7.0
Merged back in Linux 6.19 was the ASUS Armoury driver to enhance support for the ROG Ally gaming handhelds and modern ASUS laptops. The ASUS Armoury driver enables various laptop features to be toggled under Linux and since its introduction it has continued expanding support for more ASUS devices. Ahead of Linux 7.0 coming out on Sunday, a few more devices are now supported by this upstream driver.
Sent out and merged today were the latest x86 platform driver fixes for Linux 7.0 stable this weekend, unless Linux 7.0-rc8 ends up being warranted instead. ASUS devices now enabled for the asus-armoury driver by today's commit include the ASUS TUF Gaming A16 2024 laptop (FA607NU), ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 laptop (GU605MU), and ROG Flow X13 2023 (GV302XU).
While the ASUS Armoury driver is a great addition to the Linux kernel, it's worth noting these continued driver contributions aren't coming from ASUS directly but rather the open-source community. In this case Denis Benato continues leading the effort on the ASUS Armoury driver.
The platform-drivers-x86 pull today also lands a quirk for the Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen3 laptop around a BIOS bug leading to a 10 second delay at resume from s0i3. See this pull for the full list of fixes/additions now merged in time for Linux 7.0.
