      Asus Q533M. I found a user patch on stack but it was for older models. Tried to update it myself and run a rebuild, but I might have missed a step since it errored out

      • If you’re using an Arch Based distribution and have access to a USB keyboard so you can use standard HID drivers during setup you should be able to follow along on this wiki to use the software included in the ASUS Linux stack. It appears they have some nonsense going on. Tbh I didn’t know about this until looking just now and I’m gonna be going through here and getting the tools I need since I’ve got an ROG mobo I think would benefit

          Sweet, thanks! I haven’t settled on a distro yet, but from what I’ve seen this is something Asus does to kneecap as much of the community as they can

            Or… just return the laptop?

            Then purchase basically anything else

            I’m surprised though, I thought Asus wouldn’t be a company to do something like that.
