Can I get Linux running smoothly on my ROG laptop with an Nvidia GPU? Asus and Nvidia purportedly don't behave well with Linux (hexbear.net)

It's the main reason I haven't tried it yet. As for distros, so far I'm most interested in Pop! OS, but given that it's relatively young I worry about lack of documentation for certain issues I could encounter.

And is there a Linux alternative for Armoury Crate? G-Helper is only available on Windows.

I'm running cachyOS on a TUF laptop. Works great. Make sure to install g helper as an alternative to armoury.

I also had graphical glitches but that turned out being related to the AMD iGPU, had to add a debug mask flag to the bootloader and it got fixed

    G Helper has no Linux version because it relies on Asus firmware that only exists for Windows. There is asusctl, but for any distros outside hardcore ones like Arch you need to compile it yourself, which seems doable if I know what libraries I need.
