    new Asus TUF FX505DU laptop

    Hoping I have the right forum here.

    I just bought a new Asus TUF FX505DU laptop. I want to install Kubuntu. I really like the RGB keyboard since I work mainly from 8 pm to midnight tin a dimly lit room and black-on black keyboards are horrible.

    Is anybody else here running Kubuntu on an Asus with an RGB keyboard and does the light control work under Kubuntu or does it require special s/w under windows? The FN and up/down keys control the light intensity and it would seem that that should work independent of the OS.

    Anybody here have any experience with this.?

    Thank You for any information you may have.

    Kind of a specific piece of hardware. Why not boot to a live USB and see how it goes? You can still install needed packages to a live session, they just won't be there the next time to boot.

        Thank yoou. I'll have to investigate this. I don't need anything fancy. I just need the keyboard lit up so that it's visible. I'm ot a gamer so don't need anything fancy.

        Thanks again.

          Here are a couple of resources. I don't have one myself, but these seem to explain the process:

          I did a Google search on this
          ubuntu 18.04 keyboard backlight
          to come up with this.
