I want to buy a gaming laptop from mainstream brands like asus, msi, hp. I wish to install linux for gaming.

On windows we do have softwares like armoury crate, omen centre etc to control performance profiles. On windows it is impossible to get peak performance without installing those softwares and bios options are usually limited

How are these things handled in linux? Without dedicated software, can the OS( not bios) achieve peak performance with powershell/terminal?

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.
