From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not enthusiastic about gaming or using modern equipment, so I have no experience coming directly to give you a solution, but I'll tell you what steps I'd try to take.
Asking this question here can be a good start but we have to go further, which I understand you're already doing. I guess at least you've also searched for forums, wikis or documentation, for example. That's the beginning.
In the case of very new hardware, there are probably no solutions for these drawbacks or, if they exist, they are still difficult to implement. I don't think I'm telling you anything new, because if you're a regular user of Free Software, you must know what happens in these cases where the manufacturer armor its products with patents and proprietary software.
Here is where the main GNU/Linux distros should be selected, especially those most concerned about giving solutions to gamers, testing them and, if anything is missing, requesting the implementation of new features.
The most important thing would be to expose the case and request the solution directly to the manufacturer, always looking for more affected users, joining and demanding solutions getting strong from the community.
I have an asus laptop so I am using the kernel module since it does not have a seperate app for linux. If you are going to use fedora, it has kind of a similar profile system.
