I am wondering whether I should download either the bazzite-asus-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso or the bazzite-gnome-asus-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso for the ASUS Republic of Gamers laptop model GL702VSK. Is it included in the supported ASUS laptop image? I currently have the bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64 installed on it, as seen in these screenshots. I was wondering if the bazzite ASUS laptop images support this laptop as one of the recognized ASUS hardware or if there is any reason to use the ASUS image instead of the NVIDIA legacy images. I am fairly certain that the NVIDIA open images do not work on this laptop, nor do the bazzzite Steam Deck beta NVIDIA images. I have a few ISO images on my USB drive, but I can add an ASUS image if it is better to use it for the laptop, provided it is recognized in bazzite ASUS laptop software.

below is its windows 10 software page for this laptop, I think firmware bios was last updated in 2018. this laptop model does not support windows 11 because its intel i7 processor is not in the support windows 11 list, it does have the TPM 2.0 chip in this laptop. with rufus windows 11 can be installed but its slow compared to windows 10 on this laptop.
I asked copilot these questions tonight, I tried to see if it had any answers for me about if this laptop is supported.
what ASUS laptops are reconsized on the bazzite linux distro?
Bazzite Linux is designed to be compatible with a wide range of hardware, including many ASUS laptops. While there isn’t a specific list of ASUS models, Bazzite focuses on supporting most x86_64 PCs from the last decade. This means that if you have a relatively recent ASUS laptop, it should work well with Bazzite.
For the best experience, make sure your laptop meets the following minimum system requirements:
- Architecture: x86_64
- Firmware: UEFI (CSM Support should be disabled if available)
- Processor (CPU): 2GHz quad-core processor or better
- System Memory (RAM): 4GB
- Graphics: A graphics card that can utilize Vulkan 1.3+
- Storage: 64GB free on an internal solid-state drive
- Network: Stable internet connection with no bandwidth caps
If you want to check specific hardware compatibility, you can visit the Bazzite Documentation for more detailed information.
Is there a particular ASUS model you’re curious about?
ASUS Republic of Gamers laptop model GL702VSK supported in their ASUS laptop images for the nvidia version?
The ASUS Republic of Gamers GL702VSK is a powerful gaming laptop that should work well with Bazzite Linux, especially with the NVIDIA version. This model features a GTX 1070 GPU, which is compatible with the NVIDIA drivers supported by Bazzite.
For the best experience, make sure to:
- Disable Secure Boot in the BIOS settings.
- Use the latest NVIDIA drivers available for Linux.
- Ensure your system firmware is up to date.
You can find more information about the GL702VSK on the ASUS support page.
If you have any specific concerns or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
bazzite linux supports secure boot on, that’s not needed? the ASUS support page does not talk about linux, it only has windows 10 software on it.
You’re right! Bazzite Linux does support Secure Boot, but you need to enroll their key during or after installation. So, you don’t necessarily need to disable Secure Boot, but you will need to follow the instructions to enroll the key.
As for the ASUS support page, it’s true that it primarily focuses on Windows. However, many users have successfully run Linux on ASUS Republic of Gamers laptops, including the GL702VSK. While official support might be limited, the Linux community often provides solutions and workarounds for compatibility issues.
If you encounter any specific problems, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to help!

Great to hear that you successfully installed the NVIDIA legacy Bazzite image on your ASUS GL702VSK! According to the Bazzite Documentation, Bazzite Linux is designed to support a wide range of hardware, including many ASUS laptops. While there isn’t a specific list of supported ASUS models, Bazzite focuses on compatibility with most x86_64 PCs from the last decade.
Given that your GL702VSK meets the general hardware requirements, it should be supported by Bazzite. If you encounter any specific issues, the Bazzite community and documentation can be valuable resources for troubleshooting and finding solutions.

Also asked copilot what the difference betwen bazzite asus image and bazzite desktop images were?
what software is included in the asus laptop images that not in the bazzite desktop images for the nvidia hardware? what’s the difference between the versions?
The ASUS laptop images and Bazzite desktop images for NVIDIA hardware have some differences in the software they include. Here’s a breakdown:
ASUS Laptop Images
ASUS laptop images typically come with a suite of software designed to enhance the user experience on Windows. Some of the common software included are:
- ASUS Armoury Crate: A centralized software for managing system performance, lighting, and other settings.
- MyASUS: A utility for system diagnostics, updates, and customer support.
- ASUS WebStorage: Cloud storage service for backing up and syncing files.
- ASUS ZenUI Support: A customer service app providing in-device assistance.
- Various Drivers and Utilities: Specific to the hardware components of the laptop, such as audio, network, and graphics drivers2.
Bazzite Desktop Images for NVIDIA Hardware
Bazzite desktop images, on the other hand, are designed for a gaming-focused Linux experience. They include:
- KDE Plasma or GNOME Desktop Environments: Users can choose between these two popular desktop environments.
- Steam Gaming Mode: An option for a console-like gaming experience, particularly useful for HTPC setups.
- Gaming Utilities: Pre-installed gaming packages and utilities like Steam, MangoHud, and OBS VkCapture.
- NVIDIA Drivers: Support for NVIDIA graphics cards, ensuring optimal performance for gaming4.
Key Differences
- Operating System: ASUS images are Windows-based, while Bazzite images are Linux-based.
- Pre-installed Software: ASUS images include proprietary ASUS software and utilities, while Bazzite images focus on gaming utilities and open-source software.
- User Interface: ASUS images use the Windows interface, while Bazzite offers KDE Plasma or GNOME, with an optional Steam Gaming Mode for a console-like experience.
- System Updates: Bazzite images receive system and application updates automatically in the background, while ASUS images rely on Windows Update and ASUS utilities for updates4.
I hope this helps clarify the differences! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
I did notice some dmesg kernel errors, included in my second post here, in the bottom of the second post, included the text, and a hardwareinfo.txt file upload to a readable website since its too big to post here if that helps. one I think needs a patch is the one that says 38.984216] Unpatched return thunk in use. This should not happen!, not sure about the blutooth since it seems to work fine even with that error.
