There are exceptions to every rule.  In that regard: ASUS tufbooks
are tough.

After updating it to Linux Mint 22.1, and while looking at the output
of lspci(8), discovered this:

0000:00:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 12th Gen Core Processor 
Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (rev 02)

There's an out-of-tree driver Linux driver for it, and apparently Intel
is working to get it into the Linux kernel.

Having said that, can't imagine why I'd use it.  (I guess perhaps Windows
Copilot might use it, but I'll defer to others regarding whether or not
that is the case.)
