Hey everyone! I'm trying to get asusctl installed on ZorinOS but I'm hitting a wall. I followed what I thought were the right instructions from the asusctl GitHub page and attempted the Debian installation since the other options were giving me errors. However, after the installation, my terminal still says 'asusctl not found' and I can't seem to find the app anywhere. I'm pretty new to Linux and the terminal, so if anyone could provide a clear, step-by-step guide for beginners, that would be super helpful. Thanks a lot!

It looks like you've got the right idea! First, make sure you clone the asusctl repository with this command: `git clone https://github.com/NeroReflex/asusctl.git`. Then navigate into that directory using `cd asusctl`. After that, you can run the commands you mentioned: install the necessary dependencies and use `make` and `sudo make install`. If anything's unclear, just ask!
Just a heads up, asusctl is primarily built for Fedora and openSUSE, so you're stepping into unsupported territory with ZorinOS. You can still try install it on Ubuntu-based distros like Zorin, but it's not guaranteed to work perfectly since it's meant for Fedora. If you can, consider switching to Fedora for the smoothest experience with asusctl.
So if I can't get it to work, does that mean there's no way to access Asus functionalities on ZorinOS?
I think I ran into a similar issue before. Just so you know, if `git` isn't found, you may need to install it first with `sudo apt install git`.
