Putting Linux on my RTX spark laptop because I don't have a Microsoft account

A developer successfully installed Arch Linux on an ASUS RTX Spark laptop with 128GB RAM and NVIDIA GPU as an alternative to Windows, avoiding Microsoft's account requirement and privacy concerns. The setup required custom kernel patches, ACPI overrides, and driver modifications, but achieved performance parity with Windows in benchmarks while maintaining full access to 116GB of shared system and CUDA memory. The developer published their bootable setup and patches publicly for others to replicate on this hardware.
