I seriously do not understand PC gamer obsession with light and color pollution. Unnecessary lights are so fucking obnoxious to begin with, why optionally add MORE that don't do anything?

Like super cool looking light up PC's. I don't get it beyond showing off. I'm looking at my SCREEN! Not the dock or the tower. Why the fuck would I want these distracting colors flying around polluting my space?

Ridiculous. My stuff has always been minimal lights, black tape over other lights, especially fucking blue lights, black colors for towers and consoles, nothing shiny, inconspicuous as possible. Function over looks.

The plus side of RGB is that you can control it at least. So set it to white or some other soft colour (or turn it off completely), which is at least an improvement over blinding blue LEDs. Of course, the software and driver support on Linux isn't perfect.

In any case, the gaudy stuff sells, so that's how they advertise it.

There’s a massive difference between rainbow vomit RGB and using a more tasteful soft color pallette. Ultimately just do what pleases you though! It’s your shit, if you bought 16.8 million colors you’re free to use every last one lol.
