What do you mean by peak performance? I've installed Manjaro GNOME on my Asus Tuf Gaming laptop and am able to play Steam games with good performance. I set the power saving mode in GNOME settings to minimal, that's all.
I usually uninstall armory crate and other manufacturer bloat from gaming laptop while using windows and i use high performance power plan on windows. But armoury crate unclocks better high performance modes delivering more power to cpu. Since you have no armoury crate/msi centre on linux you will never know the performance you are leaving behind. Correct me if i am wrong.
Our asus-linux community has implemented support for most of the ASUS ROG models. There's some TUF support available AFAIK but the focus was mostly on the ROG machines.
Check out asus-linux.org for the software details, there are binary repos available for Fedora and Arch.
You can at least do this by using the
performanceCPU governor although there is a fair amount of nuance here in that how it's implemented depends on the CPU and a few other things. In general, it's a safe starting point, however.If
armoury crateis a CPU overclocking utility, than that is another matter. There is some CPU overclocking support on Linux, although I'm mostly familiar with AMD CPUs and this support differs by manufacturer. This page isn't a bad starting point if you use an AMD CPU.That just sounds like overclocking to me
