At least using AI but proofreading and fixing AI's mistakes uses your human brain to some degree. If they must use AI I'd rather they be smart enough to comprehend what it puts out and do at least some critical thinking of their own.
Only as useless as you want it to be, you could, for instance, use it with the hardware sync plugin to display CPU or GPU usage. I should mark it as manually configurable for segments so you can divide it up and use it for both CPU and GPU actually.
Mainly for development purposes. I plan to use the Steam Machine as my new travel PC and for my work on OpenRGB I want both Linux and Windows for testing. I use Windows to reverse engineer the official software and protocols for devices so I can reimplement them in a cross platform way to work across all OSes. Also maybe for Fortnite, the only game I still need Windows for, though my friend group hasn't been playing lately, I know how to fix the bootloader, spent time getting a customized rEFInd config going.
While I'm generally pretty anti-AI especially in OpenRGB itself, I did try slop coding a Decky plugin with free AIs for selecting OpenRGB profiles and colors just as an experiment. It didn't go well though and I'm not familiar enough wih Decky or the languages it uses to really do it justice. I'd love to see such a thing from someone who knows what they're doing.
The OpenRGB Effects Plugin has some audio visualizer effects including a port of my old Keyboard Visualizer. You can also use the Python SDK to integrate OpenRGB lighting into third party software.
It does not, but Steam isn't constantly writing to the LEDs. The Customization tab in game mode just lets you pick from the built in hardware effects so it's not continuously writing. That means it generally is not fighting OpenRGB. The only time it does seem to write to the LEDs repeatedly is during downloads when it uses the LEDs as a progress bar. Also, in desktop mode (on SteamOS or on other distros) it does not seem that Steam touches LEDs at all.
In game mode yes, at least during downloads when it uses the LEDs as an indicator. It does not stream effects in software otherwise, it just lets you choose from the built in effects, so OpenRGB can take over without Steam trying to fight it most of the time.
I got my Steam Machine on Thursday and after running initial updates, I tore it apart and installed my Crucial RAM and 2TB SSD. So far it's running great, 32GB and no apparent memory instability issues. On the fresh SSD I installed SteamOS, then repartitioned it to shrink SteamOS to 1TB and made two 512GB partitions, then installed Arch and Windows on them. Triple boot with rEFInd is working well.
Fresh stable Steam update out with updates for Steam Machine, Steam Controller, Remote Play and more
Glad to see things stabilizing for SteamOS on the Steam Machine and on custom hardware outside of the Steam Deck. I just installed SteamOS on an old PC over the weekend to experiment with some things before getting my Steam Machine (which should come tomorrow). I'm glad they're adding a Great on Machine store category, as the Great on Deck category also serves the purpose of "Works on Linux" but some games are excluded purely due to Steam Deck performance issues that don't apply to a general Linux gaming PC context. At least the Machine has significantly higher specs so this should be less of an issue with the Machine category. Also like to see the continued improvements to Steam Input and the Steam Controller.
The only way to use Lemmy IMO.
Isn't Poolside AI US-based? They recently released an open model for coding that I've found useful and it's small enough to run on consumer hardware (16GB 5080 + 32GB system RAM). Giant models are useless for anyone but the big players with datacenters regardless if they are open or closed. Small, focused models seem like the real winning play for general use if you want true independence from the walled gardens and datacenters. I don't really like AI coding but I've been using Copilot for work and was experimenting on some side projects with free models on Cline, but most interested in the tech if I can run it locally.
Obviously someone else then took the bread, the only way to break the cycle.
OpenRGB Release Candidate 1.0rc3 has been released! This new release candidate build should be considered the latest stable build and is recommended for end users. It doesn't contain the next branch changes yet, but there are some major stability improvements as well as a lot of new device updates and some UI cleanups in this build. Distro maintainers, please update 1.0rc2 packages to 1.0rc3, keep using qt5 for now.
Builds are available on Codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/OpenRGB/OpenRGB/releases/tag/release_candidate_1.0rc3
Links are also updated on https://openrgb.org/
The Flatpak release will be updated soon.
The PCBs I designed for my smart ARGB splitter came. I had them manufactured by OSHPark and they turned out great. I assembled one, flashed it, and was able to drive 6 independently controlled outputs from a single ARGB input from my Airgoo controller.

I've created a new version of my OpenRGB Desk Fan project! This is a 3D printed stand and Arduino Pro Micro based controller to turn any ARGB 120mm or 140mm PC fan into a colorful desk fan that syncs with your OpenRGB setup. The software is based on CorsairLightingProtocol. I originally designed it in 2024 but now have updated the 3D models to provide 140mm support and clean up the base.
I've been wanting to migrate away from lemmy.ml for a while and have been using my lemmy.today account as my main Lemmy presence for a while now. This instance has been stable enough that I feel comfortable migrating here. The old Reddit style mlmym interface is available at https://old.lemmy.today/c/OpenRGB.
