I own Asus Zenbook for about 6 months and I'm disappointed with the problems it has on Linux. At least with Ubuntu 16 here are things that don't work out of a box (I didn't try Ubuntu 17 or 18, but based on my readings 17 has similar problems):
* Dual GPU support, several configurations that I've tried cause the system to hang. For now I'm using nvidia all the time, which drains the battery.
* Special keys for things like brightness and sound level do not work.
* Every couple of restarts the sound is broken (unbearable noise while playing).
I'm sure all this issues are fixable with enough time, which unfortunately I don't have (this is not my main development machine, I still use desktop for most of the work). I was just surprised that in 2018 a shinny laptop can work so poorly with Linux.
- monksy 8y agoThe only issue that I'm getting right now is something to do with the Intel driver freezing after sleep. (Just haven't had time to troubleshoot lately) Brightness works for me. Dual GPU: I only have the intel graphics. Usually Dual GPU requires optimus.
