Bounty: Logitech G13 Gaming Keyboard Kernel Driver and UI (lemmy.world)
 

Hey folks, throwing this out for ideas. I have - like many FOSS users from what I have researched - a Logitech G13 gaming keyboard. I love this thing - it's awesome, however it doesn't work in Linux.

There have been a few attempts in the past to make it work with a user-space driver, here and here. I can't even get those to compile and run on a modern Fedora instance. That's more a statement about me than anything else I think.

All said, I would like to set up a bounty to crowdfund the creation of a Kernel driver that can get submitted, as well as a GUI/CLI configuration app.

The thing is, I have no idea where to start except here! (The logitech community is empty) So, throw your ideas down, and shout-out if you're a G13 owner too!

I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.

I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn't work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There's a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I'm on mobile right now and can't find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I'll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.

I have all that functionality today with FF... Not sure when you last checked, but if you create a Mozilla account and log in to FF you can sync all the same stuff as Chrome does.

+1 Put it in a USB3 device and you've got a smoking fast boot setup for as many OSs as you can shake a stick at. Great tool.
