I installed CachyOS (an Arch derivative) this evening to see what if
anything is different. "Everything". GPU switching just works. So it
seems the problems I'm having are due to Tumbleweed kernels or
libraries not fully supporting the hardware. There is a collection of
ASUS-specific patches which I guess aren't in the Tumbleweed kernels
yet.
