You could try installing Hardware Probe to further check. Plus, could you send the output of lspci in command line.

GPU acceleration for Falkon (helloSystem)
1 project | /r/kde | 22 Jan 2023

helloSystem, a FreeBSD OS has released version 0.8. On the GitHub page for ISO download (https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/r0.8.0), it says that "GPU acceleration is now enabled for WebEngine based browsers such as Falkon, thanks @jsm222".

That's a bug then. Please do open an issue at https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/ and ideally please run the Hardware Probe utility and mention the URL it gives you in the GitHub issue. This way we can hopefully see why Apple keyboard autodetection fails in your case.
A curiosity question - are there any distros that are heavily GUI focused with very minimal or no CLI requirements?
1 project | /r/FindMeADistro | 27 Nov 2021

The only free software OS I've seen trying to entirely avoid CLI, even for troubleshooting, is helloSystem by the AppImage format's creator, and that's a FreeBSD derivative rather than a Linux distribution.
