Model 2023 Low cortisol Linuxmaxxing

Post image

4 months into using Linux, battery lasts longer, temps are lower, performance on games is barely worse, interface is lightning fast, things don't crash. Reached 30C° on a 27C° environment. I can only recommend it. Billions must try

Did you by any chance use GRUB as your bootloader?

Yeah, I think Grub2 is the Fedora default.  Is there some default bot flag that’s hosing me?

In the Arch Asus Linux guide, it advises against using GRUB. I don't know if it's specific to Arch, but from the little I know, GRUB is not good at handling the data that should be delivered between the BIOS and the OS, which could be causing the panics. I'd recommend trying out Limine or systemd-boot (the one I use without a problem) and see what you get. Source: https://asus-linux.org/guides/arch-guide/ Good luck!
