Probably a longshot, but hoping anyone here might have working instructions on getting OpenRazer running under Fedora Silverblue. I recently picked up some Huntsman V2s and while OpenRGB works for basic control, I’d like to see what other options are available.

Apparently there is a known incompatibility between Silverblue and how OpenRazer implements kernel modules (link). I’ve seen elsewhere that some users have tweaked the build files to work around this, but I couldn’t find any detailed info. Any help would be appreciated.

    It seems as if the uBlue images ship the required OpenRazer kmod by default. Therefore, I would suggest you to take a look at those. You still need to follow some additional steps though 😅. Which might not be very intuitive… Thus, I propose the following: if you’ll rebase to uBlue, you might as well rebase to Bazzite. After the rebase has been completed, the (post-)installation software should already give you the option (it’s just a simple toggle) to install OpenRazer. The toggle is clearly visible in this frame.

      That’s good to know, thanks! I’m quite content with vanilla Silverblue, but I’ll take a look at their build files and see how they’re pulling it off.

        I wanted to make the same suggestion with uBlue. There’s also the silverblue-main image, which is very vanilla and the one I use. The kmod is already pre-installed there.

        Bazzite can also be great, but it’s too opinionated for my taste. I like Silverblue also more like the devs intended.

        Aight. I’ve changed the comment a bit 😅 since. Perhaps it’s more useful for you now 😉.

    Sorry for commenting super late, but you mention that you can enable kernel verification and secure boot by adding their rpm signing key and repo. Would you know how to go about doing that?
