ASUS ROG Strix 17 G733CX (2022)
(Introductory paragraph goes here. Describe the hardware. It is okay to mention the hardware platforms friendliness to open source drivers. Optionally, it is nice provide a nice summary of why or why not a user would want to buy this hardware for use with Linux.)

Kernel
Kernel configuration is fairly standard, and the typical options, as in the handbook, can be followed.

Xorg
Xorg can be configured using the optimus-manager utility, which results in the following configuration. This uses the proprietary nvidia drivers, and would require a different configuration to work under nouveau.

Troubleshooting
Only one SSD is available at a time
Kernel versions < 6.0.0 may present with the issue of only one of the two SSDs being usable. This can be rectified by upgrading to a newer kernel version.
Graphical applications on X freeze unless in fullscreen
Many hardware accelerated applications, such as Kitty, may freeze when not in full screen when using a default Xorg configuration. This can be solved through a custom configuration tool, such as optimus-manager. See a working X.org configuration for NVIDIA Optimus graphics using the proprietary drivers that resolves this issue here.
Only two of four speakers work
Out of the box, only the two front speakers will work, but through hdajackretask (media-sound/alsa-tools), it is possible to configure all four speakers to work in a stereo configuration.
For this to work,the CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL driver must be compiled as a module.
Now create the following firmware file:
/lib/firmware/hda-jack-retask.fw[codec]
0x10ec0285 0x10431ca2 0
[pincfg]
0x12 0x90a60140
0x13 0x40000000
0x14 0x90170152
0x16 0x90170150
0x17 0x90170150
0x18 0x411111f0
0x19 0x411111f0
0x1a 0x411111f0
0x1b 0x411111f0
0x1d 0x40663a45
0x1e 0x90170150
0x21 0x03211020
And finish by creating the following files in /etc/modprobe.d/. The reason the options are split between two files like this is to avoid breaking hdajackretask. For this reason, the name of the first file is significant, whereas the other can be arbitrarily named.
/etc/modprobe.d/hda-jack-retask.confoptions snd-hda-intel patch=hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw,hda-jack-retask.fw
/etc/modprobe.d/sound.confoptions snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1
Having completed this, you should be able to reboot, and use all speakers in a stereo configuration. On the machine used to test this, PipeWire was able to work without issue.
That being said, it should be noted that this method has only been tested on one laptop, and if any other user has any success, I would strongly encourage them to amend this message to reflect that.
