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. Source: almost 2 years ago
I re-installed open-razer on Ubuntu and also installed Polychromatic. Source: almost 2 years ago
Some apps are still using appindicator like Polychromatic (https://github.com/polychromatic/polychromatic) and it's a buggy mess. I hope this time they make something good and not something totally crap that is going to be a problem for the next few years that a new crew will have to fix. Source: over 2 years ago
I installed OpenRazer driver and Polychromatic. Also I see this maybe related issue. Source: over 2 years ago
I don’t think you need any special software for the cooler, CAM just handles the RGB and I think the display on the block. If you can live without that (OpenRGB can potentially handle the RGB, not sure about the display) then you should be able to get rid of it (assuming NZXT let you uninstall it without needing a reinstall, unlike Asus and Armory Crate…).

If you've connected the ARGB Header to your Motherboard, you'll have to use some software like OpenRGB, but if not - try pressing the "Reset" button (located on the left-hand side of the Front Panel) which hopefully will switch between RGB modes. Source: 6 months ago
Controlling RGB devices on Linux has always been kinda finicky. Too much proprietary nonsense and Windows-only software. With so many vendors jumping on this open standard would it potentially open up way more devices to be controlled by one app on Linux? Would a project like OpenRGB be able to get this working? I'm not a developer, so apologies if this ultimately means nothing. Source: 7 months ago
