Samsung Performance Mode on Linux

Hey everyobody. I'll start by saying I don't know much about computer stuff and Linux but it's been a year since I've been considering switching to a Linux distro. I just can't stand all the Windows bloatwere and useless features that get my RAM full. The only thing keeping me from totally switching is the samsung's built-in performance mode selector. See, I bought this Galaxy Book 2 Pro SE a year ago and as you may know Samsung has a couple cool features on their laptops; this feature in particular is really useful for the use I do of my laptop, and I couldn't find an answer online about my doubt. I can switch between 4 different performance modes (from No Noise to High Performance) and since that's a Samsung's feature I don't know if that will work if I switch. Do y'all know if there's a way to have this feature on Linux or some equivalent? I don't know if what I'm asking is dumb, thanks for your time anyway!

Qualcomm engineers submit mainline Linux kernel patches for the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme-powered ASUS Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA)

Konrad Dybcio of Qualcomm has posted an initial patch series to the Linux kernel mailing list aimed at bringing mainline support to the ASUS Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA) powered by the 18-core Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme platform.

[https://www.phoronix.com/news/Qualcomm-Zenbook-A16-X2EE](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Qualcomm-Zenbook-A16-X2EE)

This high-end ARM laptop features a 2880 x 1800 OLED screen, 48GiB of RAM, NVMe storage, and a System-In-Package reference design distinct from smaller SKUs.

According to the patch submission, the current status of working hardware components includes:

* **Display & GPU:** GPU, display output, and HDMI port (with Iris video accelerator patches in flight)
* **Audio:** 4-speaker audio playback
* **Input & Peripherals:** Keyboard, touchpad, lid switch, onboard SD Card slot (RTS5329)
* **Connectivity:** Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (QCC2072)
* **Power & Indicators:** Charging, Type-C/Type-A ports, and privacy LEDs

The patch series relies on prerequisite SoCCP and TCSR platform series dependencies. More technical details and the full patch breakdown can be reviewed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List Archive:
