Hey everyone! I'm struggling to install asusctl on my ZorinOS. I believe I followed the instructions on the asusctl GitHub page, but I ended up using the Debian version since the others stated they couldn't be found. After installing it, I still get an 'asusctl not found' error and no app is showing up. I'm looking for a step-by-step guide that's beginner-friendly since I'm new to using the terminal. If anyone could walk me through it, I'd be super grateful! Thanks!

Since ZorinOS is based on Ubuntu, it might not seamlessly support asusctl as it only works best with Fedora and openSUSE. If you're adamant about trying it, I suggest looking into other distros that it supports for better functionality. But honestly, sticking to Fedora might be your best bet if you're looking to avoid complications.
You might want to check out the asusctl GitHub page. It mentions that using Debian is unsupported, but you can still try it. First, make sure you install the necessary dependencies with: `sudo apt install libclang-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig-dev build-essential cmake libxkbcommon-dev`. Then, you will need to run: `curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh`, followed by `make` and `sudo make install`. Just a heads up, you need to clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/NeroReflex/asusctl.git` and go into that folder with `cd asusctl`. Let me know if you need any further help!
I’m not so familiar with some of those commands. Could you give a bit more detail on how to use git clone?
So you're saying I might not be able to use asusctl on ZorinOS at all?
