no longer safe
it never was and simply changing who you trust doesn't mitigate that risk in the slightest.

Please excuse my rudeness. But people who, right now, after all that has happened; buy a new PC with windows pre installed. I mean…. How fucking retarded can you be.
I know that Linux sucks. I’m suffering throug it at the moment. But I’m getting there! It just takes patience. Fuck windows and everything American.
Linux doesn't suck. What sucks is using anything new after using something else for years. As a long time Linux user I am used to its idiosyncrasies and having to use Windows or Mac is painful.
I generally agree with you and I am trying to love Linux. But it’s hard when even the RBG keyboard doesn’t work. Just one example. Not gonna go on a rant. But yeah. On windows that stuff just works.
And it’s the small things that eventually turn people away.
On windows that stuff just works.
Not really, it "just works" after you install some sort of proprietary crap software that is a couple of hundred MB from the hardware vendor, that opens up a few security holes and is never patched and is constantly in your system tray.
I would phrase it as "this vendor refuses you support me as a customer". It's not Linux that doesn't play well with X device, is X device manufacturer making the conscious decision of not caring.
Similarly to how Apple watch doesn't work with Android phones.
Yeah, I know. But at least it works then.

Thanks. I use this. It claims that I don’t have the necessary requirements even tho I specifically download them from their own site. Help.
OpenRGB has a Discord server. Have you tried that? What kb model do you have?
thanks for the suggestion but I am not gonna create a discord account. I hate when developers shove their support to discord. The platform gives me cancer and invades my privacy.
I have an old G213 Logitech.
