Is your goal to only use Linux on the laptop? If so then the ASUS might be a bit of a gamble in terms of all hardware working out of the box. I’m not sure about how well Yogasb work out of the box with Linux, but ThinkPads typically have great compatibility so maybe it would be similar.
linuxFan@lib.lgbt glad you got it working! Sounds like it was an adventure and a pain, but sometimes that’s what makes Linux fun 🙂
