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

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.

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.

OpenRGB has a Discord server. Have you tried that? What kb model do you have?

What about Linux is hard for you? I switched and barely noticed any difference, honestly. Even installing it was easy… Even my printer works and I was expecting to have to go back to wires for that lol.
My problems that I haven’t managed to fix/are unfixable on Linux Mint.
-unfixable - no fractional UI resizing that works. If I use the experimental UI sizing it starts tearing and also locks 60hz. I could resize stuff manually but then some other stuff would still be wrong size.
-fixable but not with my skill - audio randomly starts playing static and then is gone until next restart. Messed around with googling and AI-ing for a few hours but still broken. No idea if it has something to do with Dolby Atmos.
I would be really glad if tomorrow these problems would randomly be gone. I actually love how snappy and clean everything is.
Same here, a few years ago I made the switch and never regretted it (from Mac, not Windows though) ;)
It’s not perfect, but neither was macOS (or Windows) so I’m OK with that.
