I don’t know if this is discussed in this forum before, at least I can’t find a Topic related to linux.
If I’m really the first one to mention this here, the I think I speak for many Linux users.
There are many people out there, that want Signal RGB as a native Linux App and many, including myself, would pay a monthly subscription for the great features of Signal RGB.
I think, with the ending Win 10 support this year many gamers, as myself, want to try linux and many will stick to a linux distro of their choice.
I myself use Garuda Linux and stuggle hard to get my stuff working with another app you surely know of.
So please listen the already growing community and everyone who wants to join on an linux machine and give us native linux support.
Please, this would be awesome! one of the only complaints I have with linux atm. Would love to be able to natively select colors and add a gif to my aio without having to dual boot into windows.
As I understand, even though its JS all over the place, there is quite a bit of work on the low level, hw integrations and such. And linux still is niche, and all. Even with cool stuff like SteamOS, Bazzite. And Steamdeck does not even have RGB, sadly. It makes little sense on the business side of things to invest so much to make it happen. Our only hope is the on the hacking spirit of Developers who actually make it happen. I sure do hope as a paying customer. Having to use OpenRGB sucks. My linux setup feels incomplete without Signal
I agree and would argue that the topic of Linux support is absolutely underestimated.
As you write, the end of Windows 10 support will again lead to an increase in the number of active Linux users. I recently switched from Windows 10 to CachyOS (Arch) with relative ease, including gaming, and now I’m working on making the whole thing look nicer.
But the problem isn’t just third-party software like this. Many manufacturers have so far paid little or no attention (e.g. Gigabyte) to Linux support for their products.
If you want any technical help I’m an engineering manager and former dev, I’ve written patches for a few reverse engineering projects and done packaging and stuff so if you need any Linux info like how Udev rules work or how to make a Flatpak package I help.
Literally signed up to say this, highly anticipating this! I just moved to bazzite a week ago and don’t plan on going back to windows. The only thing missing for me is goog rgb software. This would be a game changer and with the steam machine coming out soon now would be the best time to get it done. Any update on an ETA?
Yeah I just made the permanent switch from Windows to Linux and will not be going back. Since there is no Linux support on the horizon I will have to end my Pro subscription that I’ve held for years. Sad but won’t pay for something I can’t use.
Registered to state my interest in a Linux version. Long-time Linux user and gamer (10+ years) and I’ve been looking for some sort of ambi-light solution with screen capture for RGB WLED control of strip lights in a simple app without rigging all sorts of video capture loopback devices. SignalRGB looks perfect, if only it was available for Linux.
Paying individuals or small teams to create cool software instead of a hoping that MS cares about users more in the next release seems like a good deal!
As a long time user of SignalRGB, I also need a Linux version to resume my subscription, since I moved and i’m forced to use OpenRGB which unfortunately is nowhere near the support that SignalRGB has, it doesn’t work with my PS5 gamepad nor my mouse, unlike Signal which works perfectly with all my devices. So please guys work harder on this, a lot of folks like myself are willing to be betatesters !
