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

Had you installed anything from the ASUS Linux crew? https://asus-linux.org/

NixOS also have hardware modules for many laptops: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/tree/master

For my specific model: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/master/asus/zephyrus/ga401/default.nix

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