Sounds like this "Armoury Crate" is highly Asus-specific.....and like every other manufacturer out there, Asus concentrates on where the money is, i.e., Windoze.
So everything gets written for Windows. Linux, although it does get basic support, is, as always, very much the "poor relation".
Which is illogical, to say the least. Especially given that Steam's Linux support has improved out of all recognition since its rather shaky start a few years ago.....and with the additions of Proton/ProtonGE & Lutris to the mix, is only going from strength to strength.
Talk about "cutting your nose off to spite your face". Gaming on Linux is all but unrecognizable compared to what it WAS.
@JustLie_40 :-
If you really want to dual-boot, do yourself a favour and at least install a second drive if you can. Windoze & Linux will play MUCH nicer if each has its own dedicated drive.
Zorin's actually not a bad choice for this. Brothers Artyom & Kyrill, the driving force behind the distro that bears their name, have gone out of their way with recent releases to make GPU driver support as easy to implement as possible. Much of it is 'point-and-click' GUIs, and is dead simple. In fact, if your GPU is 'current' & still-supported by the 'official' drivers, you don't need to lift a finger.....they'll be automatically selected & installed when you install Zorin itself. And if new drivers are detected during the periodic update process, the 'dkms' kernel module will automatically re-build them to work with whatever your current kernel version happens to be.
Linux is no longer the clunky 'beast' it was once perceived to be. In many respects, it's not just on a par with Windoze.....it's way better, and can easily teach M$ a thing or three!
