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
