# Fedora 35 Setup with an ASUS Zephyrus G14 2020 model
---
This Git repo describes how I setup the ASUS Zephyrus G14 (GA401IV) with Fedora 35 including a GNOME Shell extension to switch between GPUs and ROG profiles.
**This is not for the 2021 model**
**This is my personal config, no official guide**.
If you want support from the asus-linux community please have a look at the official install guide here: [https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/](https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/)
This guide will also get you a fully functional **2021** G14 if you are looking for this.
## Installation process
**1. Follow the guide on [https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/](https://asus-linux.org/wiki/fedora-guide/)**
**2. copy all the files to the appropriate directories**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/hyphone/asus-g14-fedora.git
cd asus-g14-fedora
cp -R etc/* /etc/
systemd-hwdb update
udevadm trigger
systemctl enable asusctl_hibernate.service
```
> we clone this repo
> we go to the repo directory
> we copy everything in this repo of etc to /etc/
> mod the keyboard that **page up / down** is mapped to **fn+up/down** while **home (pos1) / end** is mapped to **fn+left/right**
> you can use `brightnessctl -d asus::kbd_backlight s +1` and `brightnessctl -d asus::kbd_backlight s 1-` and map this to a key of your choice in your desktop environment
> asus_hibernate.service restarts asusd after hibernation to re-apply the battery charge limit.
**3. install brightnessctl**
```bash
dnf install brightnessctl
```
> brightnessctl is used for controlling the keyboard backlight as I'm overriding the default keys with page up / down before. you can map brightnessctl then in your DE to a key you want.
**4. Reboot**
**5. You can switch your prefered graphics mode via the GNOME Shell extension "asusctl-gex" or with "supergfxctl -m (graphics mode)"**
