I can't get Ubuntu working well on my Zephyrus G14 4090. They seem to have dropped the ball...

Always useful to look at the seemingly endless stream of Linux information, the Arch wiki:

Also NixOS has a nixos-hardware repository with configurations for some laptops:

Reasonably legible if you ever programmed anything

I was talking specifically about Ubuntu. ASUS Linux folks recommend Fedora and Arch to have proper kernels and refuse to touch Ubuntu, so the engineering marvel of G14 with 4090 barely works on Ubuntu.

Try Pop_OS. I had a lot of issues with Ubuntu as a daily driver, however Pop seems to have cracked the code.

Fedora has also worked OK for me in the past.
