adjust the /etc/asusd/asusd.conf via sudo nano /etc/asusd/asusd.conf to your liking. ~~I am still using the the PopOS GPU switcher so change "manage_gfx": true to "manage_gfx": false~~ I switchted to the switcher of asusctl. For this go into the gnome extensions manager in firefox and disable power76 and disable system76-power in the systemmd via systemctl stop system76-power.service && systemctl disable system76-power.service and then sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Add

systemctl --user enable asus-notify.service
systemctl --user start asus-notify.service

Add asusctl profile -n to a shortcut via the keyboard manger. I use the Fan Key on the top left
To change led color use for example asusctl led-mode static -c ffffffto change the color to a static white one. More Info for each mode with the -hcommand. For example asusctl led-mode -h
