I just got this laptop (Asus TUF A15 2021) today and it surprised me that everything works just fine out of the box on Vanilla Arch, except NVIDIA gpu I had to install it manually on battery power that’s why I enable powersaving mode. As for games performance it’s basically the same as windows no more no less.
Sounds like a win to me. Or was it slugish?
it’s pretty playable considering it’s on ultra 1080p, far better than what I used to play.
