the issues i had were, poor performance, xfce or non-xfce DE or WM were god awful and even being a non-gui (tui) environment i had slow as f performance but win11 doesnt have this issue

#

and it's not just gentoo but other linux distros too, no linux os was a good experience on it

#

i had this laptop for maybe 6+ months i got it early 2024, it's been a nightmare

real flicker
#

Have you tried a 6.12 kernel?

#

Yeah no luck

#

Are you sure that isn't a ram fault?

#

Or for example, a graphic card issue

#

There is a lot of things that could be wrong

#

Could you post the output of dmesg?

I have the same model laptop it works great

#

6c/12t is an overstatement when building packages however

#

you'll likely need to use -j2 to -j4 build jobs max due to thermal limits

#

mine can play wow on that big screen with wine-proton

#

the dgpu is limited by 4gb of vram however if your gentle with it it works for me

As I said in the post above I’m not running gentoo atm I’m on windows I’d have to reinstall

Sounds like gpu issue. Wrong drivers or missing drivers. Im guessing its nvidia card?

#

ya rtx 3050

#

with a intel iris xe uhd igpu

#

Ok… on laptops can be tricky. What i do is disable igpu and just use dedicated

#

Its always worked better for me but of course your battery lifr takes a hit

#

I dont care tho. Just easier to setup…

#

On my msi i can disable igpu thru its software and when i boot into linux it will save settings. Wont see my igpu

#

Some laptops have the setting in bios

tame horizon
#

yeah i dont

#

i looked

tame horizon
#

idk another way to do so tbh

ASUS includes the IGFX/iGPU Multi-Monitor feature that lets you utilize the onboard video ports even when using a discrete GPU.

#

To manage integrated graphics settings, access your ASUS BIOS and navigate to NB/SA Configuration (depending on the AMD/Intel motherboard). Here, you should find the IGFX/iGPU Multi-Monitor option along with its related settings.
