Hello everyone! I'm looking to switch to Linux but the only thing holding me back is I have an Asus BTF GPU and motherboard. When I connected the GPU via typical 12v2x6 connector I could see and setup alerts on hwinfo but now using asus BTF GC-HPWR motherboard connection it doesn't work. I read you can setup the power detector on hwinfo for Linux but is there a way to get hwinfo or something else to show the pin power? I also read Asus GPU tweak 3 doesn't work on Linux which I'd prefer to not have to deal with Asus software but between the power detector and the fact they removed I think it was the GPU software and firmware updates from their website and only available via armoury crate I feel kind of stuck but biggest priority for now is the power detector on Linux and I can worry about everything else later on.

Still not sure on which os I'll use but I don't need much. I just want my PC to be mine again without all the telemetry and data logging that works for Nvidia gaming, local ai and local stable diffusion and of course, no id verification but I want to ensure my PC isn't melting or going to catch fire and id like to have access to the safety feature I paid for.

Thank you for your time. I have scoured the internet, Reddit, posted a few times on different pages and nothing yet. I also searched these forums but didn't see anything so if I missed it then let me know and I'll take a look!
