ASUS Armoury Crate for Linux

Linux hardware control for ASUS laptops — fan curves, RGB, performance modes.

An open-source Linux port of ASUS Armoury Crate. Exposes kernel/ACPI/WMI interfaces to control fan speed curves, RGB lighting, and performance profiles — all without Windows. Targets ASUS ROG and TUF laptops running Linux kernel 6.1+.

Fills the official tooling gap for ASUS ROG/TUF users on Linux. Fan curve control, RGB, and performance switching without booting Windows — built by directly reversing ACPI/WMI kernel interfaces. Validated on ASUS ROG Zephyrus hardware running Linux 6.1+.
