From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I picked up a USB drive earlier, I can just use the new computer itself to get it ready I think
Sounds like you’re all set. Good luck!
Thanks! I am investing the stick with magic Linux power now
What package did you end up going with?
Linux Mint. I only have partial RGB functionality but I can live with that
Not in the openrgb device list?
I think it was but the only aura mode it would use was a rainbow wave instead of a static color. I ended up using asusctl and got it working on Mint using something someone posted to reddit. So my keyboard is working properly but not the LED band that goes around the front bottom of the laptop.
