      On windows that stuff just works.

      Not really, it “just works” after you install some sort of proprietary crap software that is a couple of hundred MB from the hardware vendor, that opens up a few security holes and is never patched and is constantly in your system tray.

        I would phrase it as “this vendor refuses you support me as a customer”. It’s not Linux that doesn’t play well with X device, is X device manufacturer making the conscious decision of not caring.

        Similarly to how Apple watch doesn’t work with Android phones.

          OpenRGB has a Discord server. Have you tried that? What kb model do you have?
