IMHO, the fact that you need a kernel patch for a key LED is what holds Linux back.

I am assuming the above is sarcasm, but... for the record, for the HP Mic Mute LED, the "Windows" driver was:

1. Crashing regularly for most of the early Windows 10 era, leaving users with a frozen mute LED,

2. Was found to contain an actual keylogger. Yes, the driver as shipped by HP and signed by MS had malware.

Google "mictray64.exe" .
