I’m using a similar setup (G15) for “AI” dev on Linux, it works very well with the Asus-laptop utils.

To complement other points:

- you can put the nvidia card in “compute” or “hybrid” mode, which removes the need for X restarts. Compute is really nice, the computer runs on IGP (which is vey capable) and all cuda workloads seamlessly wake up the nvidia card, no question asked

- the above means that the pc is nearly silent, maybe helped by the AMD cpu, while being pretty capable with the 8 real zen3 cores

- no issues really on Linux, and the Asus-laptop tools allow you to switch off the leds or cap the battery charge. The wifi card was an issue initially, quickly fixed with a newer kernel

- the screen is 120Hz, and this is really appreciated actually

I would buy a newer version in a pinch
