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 have a ROG laptop with a Nvidia GPU and you can run the rog-linux kernel which has some kernel patches, and then asusctl and rog-control-center to get those things working.

If you don’t want to deal with that yourself there’s also asus linux which has all of that built in out of the box.
