I think it was but the only aura mode it would use was a rainbow wave instead of a static color. I ended up using asusctl and got it working on Mint using something someone posted to reddit. So my keyboard is working properly but not the LED band that goes around the front bottom of the laptop.

Linux Mint. I only have partial RGB functionality but I can live with that

Thanks! I am investing the stick with magic Linux power now

I picked up a USB drive earlier, I can just use the new computer itself to get it ready I think

Part of the reason I’m asking for advice is because I’m not really tech-minded lol. I took a night class about basic computer hardware in high school and a single basic programming course in college that I muddled my way through somehow. I think the most I’ve actually done is tweak mods for paradox games.

I don’t need to worry about a backup, this is a new computer and I can factory reset if I need to.

I posted it in a jokey way don’t worry lol
