alienfx VS Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

Hey. I recently installed pop on an alienware laptop and forgot to change the key lights before I obliterated windows. As a result of this - if the computer is on, the keyboard lights are on, and they shine a beautiful bright blue hue. I'd like to either make that a dim red or be able to turn it on and off. I tried alienfx for linux but it did not work for me. I looked through a few alternatives and it looks like they all operate in a similar way. It looks like I want to use python or c (probably python for something like this) and send codes like these to something. I'm not super familiar with this area of hardware/programming. I have no problem slowly going through these different tools and eventually figuring it out, but if there is an up to date / modern alternative to alienfx or some easy way to do what I have described, I'd love to save some time and frustration.

I had success with alienfx. Check if your device is supported here https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/blob/master/docs/Knowledgebase/Devicelist.md

Linux users need to have Windows installed just to tweak a fan setting or a keyboard lighting (You might be lucky if your system is supported by this but damn it give Linux users some support too)

i found a script someone made (here) but it just isnt working, when i use bottle i get an error that it failed to login, and when i use the script wget just times out. i manually downloaded the script, but the script has wget in it anyway. i tried adding -4 to wget, which didnt help.

Which OS? If Linux and wine, You are out of luck for now. See: https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux/issues/319

A couple of us on github believe the issue is related to bcrypt.dll

Also Fusion360? https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux

You are able to run it using Wine, you could try looking https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=36468 here for the test results and bugs and https://github.com/cryinkfly/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux here for instructions on getting it running.
