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.

Open RGB is a absolutely fucking shit show.

Then again RGB in windows is barely better then a fucking shit show.

RGB controls in general is just bad on everything.

Honestly.

On payday I'm running to the local electronics shop for a breadboard. I'll make my own RGB controller. Fuck drivers.
