I said "reasonable", and openrgb is not reasonable. It is the same
mess "gpm" was. Remember gpm for mouse handling? Except that... it is
bigger mess. Few megabytes bigger, IIRC, links against QT.

I have debian 11 here. That does not even have openrgb.

Device drivers in userland ... never worked too well. Openrgb is a
hardware driver that happens to link QT gui into the binary. That's
... not reasonable.
