NPU has now been tested & works! https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606#NPU

@VanKurt you might also need to do install/enable these services: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606#Power_management

P.S. it's normal/expected behavior for linux-firmware-git to include amd-ucode-git :)

A reminder to please take discussions about these patches on other distros to an appropriate channel :)

Also unfamiliar with the mailing list but I posted an issue here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3810

Thanks for the work. I was able to control backlight by using https://github.com/jkitching/soft-brightness-plus extension on Gnome.

"Not sure where you got the idea of bad CPU performance/power management from" -> I think I read that somewhere (don't know where exactly). What I do see is a very high power consumption when playing videos (e.g. YouTube). Maybe that is caused by the kernel flag "amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x600"?

@VanKurt, I've tested the latest version of the official Arch kernel (v6.12.1) paired with the latest version of the official linux-firmware package (v20241111) and my laptop was quite stable (as long as the amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x600 kernel parameter remains on).

Things not working on v6.12 kernel for me:

  • "thin" sound on laptop speakers (not much of a problem if you have an USB sound card or headset);
  • NPU (which I wouldn't use anyways);

In order to get rid of the 10 seconds delay on resuming from sleep, I also had to apply the services to bind/unbind the WiFi card on resume/suspend described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ASUS_Zenbook_UM5606 (on Power Management section)
