From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE Plasma 6.1 Keyboard LED Question (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

4 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I see lots of posts about KDE being able to sync the screen with LED backlit keyboards but other than saying that, no information on how to do it or what keyboards are compatible.

I could be totally missing something, I tried to parse through the changelog but didn't see anything in there about it.

Would anyone be able to explain how I should check if my keyboard (Akko 5108) is compatible and how I can change the settings if possible?

It's in the announcement for Plasma 6.1, see https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/

To enable it, you need to use the Brightness & Colour widget. See also the merge request for this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4093

I guess the documentation is a bit lagging still! I don't know about a list of compatible keyboards, but I suppose you can just try it out to see if it works! 😁
