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.

While you are absolutely correct that NVIDIA compatibility issues are overblown, and it mostly works fine nowadays, laptop users need to be aware hybrid graphics can still suffer with hiccups, like applications using the wrong GPU, resume from sleep issues, battery usage issues.
