Running Gallium OS on a very old Dell Chromebook 11 with an "Activity Light" on the back cover that, in Chrome OS, can be turned red, yellow, or blue. Any idea how I might be able to turn it on from within Linux? Maybe some terminal commands?

The nvidia proprietary driver sets this anyway after installation. This fixes the issue of KDE Wayland often times freezing on first login before nvidia proprietary drivers are installed. latest mesa release version provided for AMD/Intel desktop/GL drivers, mesa-git vulkan drivers provided for latest vulkan fixes/updates, built and updated regularly (every few weeks to a month on average) glibc patched with clone3 disabled (fixes CEF compatibility in applications using outdated CEF such as Discord, Steam beta) glibc patched with broken commits reverted to allow EasyAntiCheat to work for Rogue Company dnf max parallel downloads increased to 6 gst-editing-services disabled — causes WINE to hang when creating new prefixes lspci symlink from /usr/sbin/lspci to /usr/bin/lspci for Dying Light: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2766/post_id=17381 ‘nobara-controller-config’ package provided for easy installation of xone and xpadneo drivers and firmware. gnome variable refresh rate patches added for mutter: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154 gnome mutter check-alive-timeout increased from 5 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the amount of time gnome waits before trying to determine if an application is not responding. At 5 seconds it almost immediately triggers for league of legends (and some other applications) if those applications are still in the loading phase. We feel 30 seconds is a much more reasonable wait time. gnome mutter patched with x11 fractional scaling: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/raw/ubuntu/master/debian/patches/ubuntu/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch gnome mutter wayland and x11 fractional scaling enabled by default: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#Fractional_scaling gnome shell patched with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2358 to allow gnome-extension-manager to auto-update without needing gnome-extension-app installed. (They both function the same but gnome-extension-manager allows management of extensions without a browser). gamescope version regularly updated goverlay version regularly updated mangohud version regularly updated vkbasalt version regularly updated vm.max_map_count = 16777216 set by default for Star Citizen xwayland patched with fix for locked fps on some systems: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:hwsnemo:xwayland/xwayland/xwayland-vsync.diff?expand=1 supergfxctl and gnome extension + kde plasmoid enabled for laptops.

[Gamers Nexus] We're Fixing this Anti-Consumer Nightmare | OpenPleb Sensors & RGB, ft. Wendell from Level1 Techs
I have a 30 series ASUS card, and Armory Crate didn't even detect my Strix 3080. Took me awhile to remove all of their bs software from my system (big thanks to Autoruns and BCUinstaller). Now I use OpenRGB to control everything.

OpenRGB and Steelseries Apex 9
OpenRGB doesn't see my Steelseries Apex 9 keyboard - is there any way to fix this? I saw adding Apex 9 recognition was requested here and a GitLab branch that adds the Apex 9 recognition was even linked but I don't know how to add this user-submitted update to OpenRGB. Any tips?

[TPU] CORSAIR Revolutionizes DIY PC Building with the New iCUE LINK Smart Component Ecosystem
I'd much rather we had some convergence on a common standard so we could all just use something like OpenRGB, except knowing the monkey's paw that is modern tech we'd just end up in relevant XKCD territory.

what software can you to Sync RGB since RGB fusion is trash (can't detect Corsair ram)
OpenRGB is my current choice, open source is always a plus.

Is there still no version of GHub on Linux? Apparently they've been promising this for over 3 years.
Before upgrading myself to a Keychron Q3 i used OpenRGB to control RGB on Logitech trash hardware : https://i.imgur.com/mkzcQDU.png

this is literally a Keychron V3.
Keychron C1 TKL Board with non-RGB backlighting; foam, tape modded and flashed with SonixQMK Tecware PBT OEM Keycaps (White and Grey) with the Keychron C1's orange ESC key which is ABS Akko Jelly Purple Tactiles with the modifiers (except both Left and Right shift) being Akko Rose Red Linears Didn't bother to lube them, I'm just lazy and don't have a switch tray :D Stock plate-mount stabs lubed with Krytox 205g0 and Dielectric Grease

I bought a k2v2 white backlight, non hot swappable, plastic frame for $40. Should I have gone for a better keyboard? I’m a student and this is my first mechanical keyboard. The RK84 also seemed like a good option but it’s $20 extra and I read reviews where people said typing isn’t great on it.
I think you should give it a while and get used to it and pay attention to https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware and in particular this PR https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/pull/318 which will bring QMK/VIA support to the white backlight version of the K2V2. Something you will never get with the RK84.

custom firmware for C1
In theory you could use SonixQMK. But this will require you configure the source code, compile it and then download it to the device. You could then use the Via utility to reassign the keys. This might work, but I have found Sonix QMK to unstable in the long term on some Keychron keyboards. No one is going to tell you how to do this with a simplified complete set of instructions. You may get stuck with a keyboard that doesn't work and if you aren't experienced or don't have the tools there may be no way back.

K6 vs K6 Pro (QMK/VIA)
Well not quite... While the K6 pro supports qmk and via out of the box, there is also support for the normal K6 within this fork of QMK https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware

K2 qmk firmware
How can I compile and flash the qmk software from here(https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware) onto my Keychron K2?

Built my first budget keeb! GMMK 1 Compact
Just as an FYI, if you're ever adventurous, if you have a rev2 or rev3 GMMK Compact, you can load QMK/VIA from the Sonix Branch.

Replace MCU on keychron K2 V2.
The SonixQMK fork has support for Keychron K2. I'm not sure if this is for the V2 or not, but it could be worth checking out.

Yup ! It's supported : https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/tree/sn32_master/keyboards/keychron/k6

Best means to remap K3a1 on Linux?
While there is QMK for the K3 https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/tree/sn32_master/keyboards/keychron/k3 it seems to be for the RGB variant only while your K3A1 seems to be white backlight according to https://www.keychron.com/blogs/production/project-update-for-the-k3-pre-orders-1
