Arch Linux runs on ASUS ProArt P16 with RTX Spark GPU support
A Hacker News post describes booting Arch Linux on an ASUS ProArt P16 configuration with 128 GB RAM and NVIDIA RTX Spark-class GPU access, instead of using the Windows-only official support. The author says the setup keeps up with Windows in 7-Zip benchmarks, exposes the same 116.0 GiB memory pool to the OS and CUDA, and includes patches for ACPI, framebuffer, keyboard, audio, and NVIDIA support. The work was packaged into a bootable installer and published with build scripts and patches.
