Je zit goed zolang je op kernel 6.19 draait, die al beschikbaar is op Fedora, maar je moet wel even updaten.

### Kernel 6.19: asus-armoury driver lands in mainline

The `asus-armoury` driver has been [merged into Linux 6.19](https://www.phoronix.com/news/ASUS-Armoury-Driver-Linux-6.19). This new `platform/x86` driver replaces parts of the older `asus-wmi` with a cleaner sysfs-based API, enabling panel mode switching, APU memory allocation, PPT tuning, and more directly from the kernel. The driver is entirely community-developed by the [asus-linux team](https://asus-linux.org/), with no involvement from ASUS themselves. CachyOS ships kernel 6.19.4-2 which includes this driver and additional ASUS-specific patches.
