Title: Unbloated: G-Helper – The best open-source alternative to Asus Armoury Crate – Part 2
Post by: Redaktion on January 28, 2026, 12:31:08
In this second part of the series, we take a closer look at Asus gaming laptops. The open-source alternative this time is called G-Helper. While Asus Armoury Crate weighs in at a staggering 4 GB, G-Helper comes in at a ridiculous 5 MB — yet remains extremely powerful.

For the record, GHelper can change Visual Modes/Color Profiles/Screen Gamut. If that is not shown for you, make a bug report on github with details about your laptop and it will be added.

I'm surprised there aren't more open source alternatives haven't started popping up for other OEMs. Like a version of Lenovo vantage or whatever they use on their legion laptops and for MSI, dell, Acer, HP, Gigabyte software too.

Hello, actually you can change "display color profiles", it's literally visible on your own screenshots and called Visual Modes :)

Lenovo Legion, Ideapad Gaming, and LOQs already have LenovoLegionToolkit on GitHub, going back to Oct 19, 2021 (BartoszCichecki/LenovoLegionToolkit). Now it's forked and maintained under "LenovoLegionToolkit-Team/LenovoLegionToolkit".
