I will just share my struggles with Asus Tuf A15 (FA507UI) bought in March 2024. It was really frustrating, and I spent so many hours debugging. Unfortunately I wasn't as skilled to decompile dsdt/acpi, but all these keywords look familiar from my deep dives into the issue.

In the beginning I had sticky keyboard issue, with a button repeatedly triggered for no reason. This got fixed after one of the bios updates.

Later, for a while I had the stuttering issue when the GPU was in standby (when loaded in hybrid mode) [1]. I then switched from PopOS to Manjaro with a hope that newer kernel might fix it, and it did.

Today I'm struggling with a new issue - GPU sometimes gets disconnected, and requires system reboot to turn it on again. I generally use GPU for compute, not for graphics - so you don't see it until you do. New Nvidia drivers might have fixed this [2].
