I've searched all over the internet but I can't find a definite answer. I use my laptop for both gaming and schoolwork. I think it is taking up my storage and RAM.

people mentioned "performance enhancement" or "battery managements" or "updates". I don't see much of a need in MyAsus

I rarely update my laptop unless it does it for me when I shut it down. for the 3 years of me having a laptop, I've only ever tried screen mirroring once. I don't know about battery or anything but I am afraid I might need that.

Will I lose some VERY necessary features for daily use or will I damage my laptop because I uninstalled MyAsus?

Update: you know what I should just keep it. Kinda afraid I’d lose some important things I might use in the future

So my pc gave me option to extend my warranty for a year, free, I clicked yea then sent me to this. I kind of understand it being it checks your PC to update drivers and such, but is it necessary? Like isn’t it easier just to update windows, update Razer drivers, and Nvidia drivers myself. Guess could get tedious. This is what I don’t understand. Will it run my computer slower, will it give me unnecessary updates, etc? Should I agree and use MyAsus or not?

As the title states, What is the MyAsus app used for and is it considered bloatware that I can uninstall? I never see myself opening it and using it. The only time I open the app is when it requires an update. Any advice will help!

Thank you!

If you run Linux on an Asus laptop (Zenbook, ROG, Vivobook), there is no MyAsus app since it's exclusively for Windows. To limit battery charging, tweak fan profiles, or adjust the keyboard backlight timeouts, you usually have to rely on a scattered mess of CLI tools, scripts, or terminal commands.

I got tired of doing this manually, so I built Ayuz. It’s a completely native, lightweight GTK4 application written in Rust that unifies all these hardware-specific settings into a single, clean GUI. It works perfectly for my Zenbook S16 and Fedora 43 setup.

Just a quick overview of what it actually does:

• Battery & System: Set 80% charge limits to save battery health and switch fan profiles.

• Display: Flicker-free OLED dimming and color gamut switching.

• Keyboard: Auto-backlight relying on ambient light sensors and configurable idle-timers.

• Audio: Boost volume beyond 100% and manage EasyEffects sound profiles.

• Touchpad: smart gestures

• many more features like locked FN-key etc.

It basically serves as a smart frontend for great backend tools like asusctl, swayidle, or iio-sensor-proxy.

You can find the source code, more screenshots, and the download links (RPM, DEB) on my GitHub: https://github.com/Traciges/Ayuz

Let me know what you think or if it works on your specific model

EDIT 1: Many users asked for flatpak/flathub support but since my app is too host dependent the flathub team denied my request with the following words: "this will not be accepted, see the inclusion criteria on host dependent apps." Not sure if I can do something against that

EDIT 2: Updated name to Ayuz so I don't get into legal trouble with ASUS in the future
