Hopefully it can also turn off those annoying, gaudy, useless, and detrimental in several ways LEDs that plagues "gamer" hardware these days.

Simple: You either set them to black or don't plug in the RGB connector at all

Which is useless advice when they either a) don't have a fully capable driver, and/or b) built in so just disconnecting them isn't an option, as I was pointing out.

The article says there is a driver. Also, there are plenty of alternatives without LCD-screens, just buy one of those. Or better yet, get a Noctua tower cooler, they are better anyways.

Just dont buy an AIO that has RGB it's that simple lmao. You can get the Arctic Liquid Freezer II which performs better at a lower price.

But I'm guessing you don't care, I think your post is mainly your hatred with RGB so everyone else should lol.
Note I also prefer no RGB but It doesnt bother me if others like it.

I hate RGB thingie beacuse it leaves us with no choice but that fancy damn thigs. The market is full of them and we have to share the extra expense of that extra unnecssary LEDs. It's not out of hate you see? We have a sane reason.

Get an Arctic Liquid Cooler AIO then, they make a RGB-less version, and they work better than any Asus crap.

So it takes 6 months to finish this and make it stable ? That sounds ... slow !

Is this a contribution from Asus ? The article doesn't say... I think Linux is in much need of such drivers, that bring a better user experience to Linux

Nope! It's from me, the article does say. Florian Freudiger reversed the protocol and I did the rest. For stable, that refers to when Linux 6.9 will be released to the masses, not when the driver will be done.
