The online G15 5530 Drivers & Downloads page only shows Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as supported operating system.

Ubuntu 22, yes. For the distribution you're asking about, the user community of that OS would be a better place to ask.
It may work - but it may not work with a shipped distribution, in which case you should evaluate what might not work, or might take extensive effort to locate drivers for.

Thank you both for your responses. I consider myself a nerd as well, and would try to create drivers if they are not available.

I know this a way late response, but you might want to rethink the Arch Linux thing. Your best bet with the best support for most laptops to run Linux is Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Arch is for the tech-nerd in mind. Do some research on YT on all three distros. The videos are very informative.

@tr1x_em This is awesome, really. Not cli-only anymore, it seems (actually a very professional GUI).
I'm trying this anytime I'm booting Linux bare-metal, thank you very much for the work!
(Btw, any plans to port it to Windows? You know, some kilobytes are more interesting than the massive official AWCC 😅; meanwhile, I'm sticking with CCTK, even though it's not meant to work outside the enterprise-grade lines 😅).

@Rafael Muriali Thanks :> for u kind words let me know in github or discord if it works for u or not
Actually im actively gathering more data and at this point it support G7 G15 G16 Alienware
only thing left is the per key rgb
There are many alternative for windows (and tbh i dont use windows so idk how things work there) like tcc alienfx-tools
CCTK is a bit slower
