How To Install ROG Control Center on Fedora 44,43 Based Distros (asusctl Guide)

If you're running an Asus ROG/TUF laptop on Fedora 42,43,44, you've probably noticed there's no official Armoury Crate for Linux. But don't worry, the open source asusctl. suite has you covered with fan control, performance profiles, GPU switching, and RGB lighting.

Step 1: Enable the COPR Repository

sudo dnf copr enable lukenukem/asus-linux
sudo dnf update --refresh

Step 2: Install asusctl and supergfxctl

sudo dnf install asusctl supergfxctl rog-control-center
sudo dnf update --refresh

Step 3: Enable Services

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now asusd.service
sudo systemctl enable supergfxd.service

step 4: Verify Kernel Modules

1. lsmod | grep asus You should see modules like asus_nb_wmi, asus_armoury, asus_wmi, and hid_asus listed. ## Step 5: Launch ROG Control Center rog-control-center`

Or find it in your application menu.

Troubleshooting

asusd.service fails to start?

Run it manually to see the raw error:
sudo asusd

"Asus kernel isn't loaded" warning?

Ignore it — it's safe and cosmetic.

Profile switching not working?

asusctl profile --list
asusctl profile -P Balanced
