Hey, I run multiple distro’s, almost all Debian based. Been using MATE as my desktop environment for a years, but recently bricked both my desktop and laptop, and figured I would switch to GNOME for better Wayland support…

Every time I re do my system, or run a live USB, I can never get my keyboard backlights to work correctly. Mykeyboardd is a cooler master devastator 2. I’m sick of having to look up how to get the backlight button to work, or just get them to turn on at boot and stay on… Now I can’t find any solution that works

So my question to you guys, is… Do you have any keyboard recommendations for keyboards that just work with Linux?? I’d rather have backlights on all the time, than off all the time.

Thanks
