That looks interesting, but the link shows no description, not even a
README. Is this specifically for AMD chipsets or is it more general?
Like I said previously, this is alpha quality software. Not even beta at this point. I'm just happy that I can switch GPUs at this point. I sent the author the commands that I used to build it. I'm sure he'll ship a README at some point.
As far as supergfxctl, I suspect that the GPU switching will work with both Intel and AMD processors on a variety of laptops. Intel based laptops are doing hybrid GPU setups as well.
As far as asusctl, I suspect that is more focused on Asus laptops. However, I suspect that the components he's controlling and the devices are used in other laptops.
My ASUS TUF A17 is my first new laptop in a long time. Laptops have come a long, long way recently. The 4800H is as fast as my desktop 3600X and the GTX 1660Ti is faster than the GTX 1060 also in my desktop computer. All this with decent battery life, especially when running with the iGPU and good keyboard and touchpad. The display isn't super color or brightness wise, but the matte finish is excellent for reading text. I'm very happy with this machine.
