+# ASUS TUF A15 FA506NC
+
+- GPU switching to the nvidia card works fine through supergfxd.
+- Power profiles autoswitch through asusctl in tandem with power-profiles-daemon.
+- The batter charge limit configuration through ../battery.nix did not work,
+  setting a limit through asusd works.
+
+## Configuring AsusCTL
+
+To declaratively configure asusd you can control the whole config file through
+the asusd service (same for fan curves and keyboard leds):
+
+```nix
+services.asusd.asusdConfig.text = ''
+  (
+      charge_control_end_threshold: 80,
+      base_charge_control_end_threshold: 80,
+      disable_nvidia_powerd_on_battery: true,
+      ac_command: "",
+      bat_command: "",
+      platform_profile_linked_epp: true,
+      platform_profile_on_battery: Quiet,
+      change_platform_profile_on_battery: true,
+      platform_profile_on_ac: Performance,
+      change_platform_profile_on_ac: true,
+      profile_quiet_epp: Power,
+      profile_balanced_epp: BalancePower,
+      profile_custom_epp: Performance,
+      profile_performance_epp: Performance,
+      ac_profile_tunings: {
+          Performance: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+          Quiet: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+          Balanced: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+      },
+      dc_profile_tunings: {
+          Quiet: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+          Balanced: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+          Performance: (
+              enabled: false,
+              group: {},
+          ),
+      },
+      armoury_settings: {},
+  )
+'';
+```
+
+Here you can set the battery charge limit and other settings like which profile to
+use on batter and which on power.
+
+## More optimizations
+
+You may also want to enable thermald and powertop for the optimizations mentioned in
+https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Laptop.
+
+```nix
+services.thermald.enable = true;
+powerManagement.powertop.enable = true;
+```
