My G14 is still going strong, and it's 4? 5? years old. I'm the second owner too.

What doesn't work under Linux? Backlight control, keyboard backlight (including RGB on other models) is well supported, anime matrix works too. I can easily set charge limits, fan speeds and power profiles.

My model doesn't have a webcam but the built in mics work well.

my Asus laptop required me to edit a file in the EFI partition to change the fan mode. not only that, half of the function keys didn't work on Linux and the back light didn't work at all. also, the audio didn't work

I believe my experience predates and/or was not compatible at the time with ASUS-linux
