ASUS Armoury Driver Set To Be Introduced In Linux 6.19 (www.phoronix.com)

Expected to be introduced in the upcoming Linux 6.19 kernel cycle is the ASUS Armoury "asus-armoury" driver for enhancing support for the ASUS ROG Ally gaming handhelds and other ASUS enthusiast/gaming devices under Linux.

The ASUS Armoury driver was born out of the existing ASUS WMI driver but overhauling it with a clean and more well defined API. The ASUS Armoury driver provides new BIOS attributes using the fw_attributes_class while deprecating all the existing attributes from the ASUS-WMI driver with plans to then remove them in the next Linux LTS kernel version.

Please kindly fuck off ASUS.

Wtf why? 😭😭
I’m running Manjaro on my Ally X and am using it as my main device
I’d very much like these drivers to be on it

This driver was produced for free by multiple contributors, none of which were ASUS.
