# Introduction

**Welcome to the ASUS TUF Linux guide!**

The idea behind this guide is to simplify the process of running Linux on ASUS TUF laptops for beginners. It covers most of the basic steps you would normally follow, such as updating your system, installing drivers, and setting up specific software. Everything is condensed and kept in one place so you do not get overwhelmed or lost along the way.

This guide is by no means perfect. It is intended as a basic introduction to help people get familiar with the essentials without the experience feeling annoying or like a hassle. The main goal is to make users more comfortable with Linux.

**Whether you find it helpful or annoying, or incomplete, thank you for taking the time to visit this guide. :)**
