Overall I'm very happy with the laptop's performance and stability under all of the above OSes. But CatchOS has gradually replaced Ubuntu as my main OS on the laptop.<\/p> <p>My previous KDE distro is EndeavourOS, but I found CatchOS has some advantages I appreciate:<\/p> <ul> <li>Better package selecting UI<\/li> <li>Btrfs management is easier (Btrfs Assistant is preinstalled)<\/li> <li>zsh is installed with oh-my-zsh customization<\/li> <li>zram is installed and properly configured<\/li> <li>Bluetooth is enabled<\/li> <li>Login screen matches the scaling factor set in Display Configuration<\/li> <li>Generally feels faster<\/li> <\/ul> <p>The current version of CatchOS (Linux 6.13.6-2-cachyos) works perfectly on the ASUS laptop:<\/p> <ul> <li>All the hardware works great, including Bluetooth, WiFi 7, Speakers, Microphone (with the modification learned from <a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dantmnf\/zenbook-s14-linux\">here<\/a>, Keyboard with backlight, Touchpad, USB ports, etc.<\/li> <li>Battery life is pretty good. Below are 2 scenarios I normally use the laptop (70% brightness + Dropbox at background) <ul> <li>A local Vagrant\/VirtualBox VM + Coding in PhpStorm: 9-11W, about 7 hours of usage.<\/li> <li>Browsing + Writing: 8-10W, about 8.5 hours of usage.<\/li> <\/ul><\/li> <\/ul> <p>So far the laptop is very stable and I haven't noticed any bugs during my usage.<\/p> <\/div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/bob418\"> \/u\/bob418 <\/a> <br> <span><a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/linux\/comments\/1j8mef4\/linux_catchos_works_perfectly_on_asus_ux5406sa\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/linux\/comments\/1j8mef4\/linux_catchos_works_perfectly_on_asus_ux5406sa\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15288","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
