web VS polychromatic

The other iso i tried is a few of these https://archlinuxgui.in

I got my Arch Linux with KDE Plasma here: https://archlinuxgui.in

I used this https://archlinuxgui.in/. I wanted to use the AUR and have the latest and greatest of every package.

Try… • Gecko Linux • Spiral Linux • wattOS • KaOS Linux • Porteus Linux • Devuan • Slitaz • Not a fan of arch but try https://archlinuxgui.in • I’ll never suggest anything Ubuntu. 🤣

https://archlinuxgui.in/ Xfce version is lightweight, because Arch Linux is a rolling release distro you can still use these old iso's like normal and everything will be updated

Arch Linux x86_x64 (using https://archlinuxgui.in/ and https://github.com/arch-linux-gui/arch-linux-gui-xfce/tree/9a8f8ab254745cbaef45a7587a5ce5e6f9ada1e8), kernel 5.19.11 ASUS X555BA (AMD A9-9410, Radeon R5 APU)

For openrazer to function easily, you need additional software. I’ve used Polychromatic.

I'm trying to install OpenRazer to utilize Polychromatic and come into a problem that says:

Install frontend : https://polychromatic.app

I've tried multiple different brands of keyboards and mice and all of them worked well with Linux, often even if Linux wasn't advertised on the box (I wouldn't bet on that though). More well known brands have better support e.g. Razer has OpenRazer and Polychromatic

I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic.

The irony is that razer has some of the best software as long as you are not using windows. The community maintained openrazer drivers on Linux work great. https://polychromatic.app/
