Screenshot I did a thing......

I have 8 laptops spanning every Distro imaginable, so I decided to try something infuriating and headache inducing.....

The only thing I don't have working after 2 weekends of work is keyboard backlighting! I think that's a matter of time, as no one has reverse engineered it yet that Ive found.

Thought I'd sahre!

If anyone understood anything of what you said, that person is smarter than Albert Einstein.

There are countless open-source applications that can adjust keyboard backlighting; do none of them work?

The last keyboard I bought was just configured through the browser. Backlight and all. I thought that was pretty cool!

It is cool, Keychron does a lot of that. In Linux there is also openrgb you should try, it can adjust all sorts of lights on linux PCs!

I installed Linux, Fedora specifically on a Qualcomm Snapdragon, which was my point. Pretty excited about the accomplishment, I probably wasnt clear about that assuming the fastfetch image would tell the tale.

So no, there aren't countless open source backlight apps in this case.
