Hi everyone! I own a ROG Strix G713PV and switched to Linux, but I couldn't find one simple app that covers everything Armoury Crate does on Windows. So I built Boreas and made it open source.
What it does:
- Silent / Balanced / Turbo, plus your own custom modes
- Custom fan curves for each mode (CPU, GPU, mid fan)
- CPU and GPU power limits, NVIDIA Dynamic Boost
- CPU temperature limit (Dragon Range / Fire Range)
- GPU modes: Eco, Standard, Optimized, Ultimate (MUX switch)
- Aura keyboard lighting and brightness
- Battery charge limit
- Display refresh rate and panel overdrive (KDE)
- Auto mode switching on battery / AC
- Tray app, light and dark theme, boreasctl command line tool
- 11 languages and in-app updates
It runs as one small system service with a tray app. It should work on any systemd-based distribution with a recent kernel. I'm actively maintaining it and plan to add more features and models over time. If you're coming from Windows, the layout will feel familiar.
Feel free to contribute! I've only been able to test it on my own laptop (G713PV, CachyOS), so if you have a different ROG or TUF model, I'd love to hear whether it works for you. Bug reports, feature ideas, translations and pull requests are all welcome. Let's build it together for everyone using an ASUS laptop on Linux.

If you find it useful, a star on GitHub helps other ASUS users find it.
Thanks for reading!
