Release v22.1.3
ASUS Linux Tools Installer v22.1.3
Added
- Accurate kernel version guidance distinguishing between HWE and mainline kernels
- Mainline kernel installation instructions for optimal ASUS support (6.12+)
- Multi-tier kernel support documentation (Basic 6.1+, Good 6.8+, Optimal 6.12+)
- Helper functions for HWE kernel installation and mainline kernel guidance
- Comprehensive kernel installation options with safety warnings
Enhanced
- Corrected kernel availability information - HWE provides up to ~6.8, not 6.12+
- Improved kernel detection logic with realistic expectations for standard repositories
- Better user guidance on when to use HWE vs mainline kernels
- Enhanced README structure with expandable mainline installation section
- More accurate installation prompts based on what's actually available
Fixed
- Critical correction: Kernel 6.12+ requires mainline installation, not available via HWE
- Misleading kernel recommendations that suggested 6.12+ was available through standard repos
- Installation script promises that couldn't be fulfilled with standard package managers
Technical Improvements
- ASUS WMI driver enhancements: Better thermal profile initialization (6.12+ mainline)
- Intel Lunar Lake performance: ~22% improvement on ASUS laptops (6.12+ mainline)
- ROG Ally support: Enhanced suspend/resume functionality (6.12+ mainline)
- Mini-LED support: 2024 ROG laptop compatibility (6.12+ mainline)
- GPU MUX switching: Improved Vivobook series support (6.12+ mainline)
- Realistic HWE benefits: Up to kernel 6.8 through standard repositories
