turning off the keyboard backlight aka sending binary data to usbs?
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.

Alienware Control Program available under Linus?
I had success with alienfx. Check if your device is supported here https://github.com/trackmastersteve/alienfx/blob/master/docs/Knowledgebase/Devicelist.md

Alienware Command Center should go open source
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)

FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.
For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

Wayland Is Pretty Good
This is running in WSL?
Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Ask HN: Windows 10-based devs, are you upgrading to Windows 11?
Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

Graphics in c++ but in wsl
There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

How to access Ubuntu's stock desktop environment using wslg and D3D12?
Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019
