Configuring NZXT case Smart Device (V1) and Grid+ V3 on Linux

NZXT cases and accessories could only have been configured via their dedicated (Windows 10 **only**) software called **NZXT CAM**. For a couple of months I've been looking for a way to configure fans and RGB strips that are connected to the Smart Device in my *NZXT H700i* case. Yesterday, I found a solution to this nuisance which I would like to share with you, and maybe help some of you that are also annoyed by NZXT's neglection of Linux based community that uses their products.

[https://github.com/jonasmalacofilho/liquidctl/blob/master/docs/nzxt-smart-device.md](https://github.com/jonasmalacofilho/liquidctl/blob/master/docs/nzxt-smart-device.md)

Through this CLI program you will be able to configure your case as you would with CAM software.

I hope that this will help some of you! :)

What are some of the best rolling-release distros that have official x86 support? (So, nothing Arch Linux or Ubuntu based)

I'm currently running Debian 10 stable, a bit sick of them providing updates ten years after the software is released (sarcasm) so I'm looking for some bleeding-edge distros that still support x86. Arch and Ubuntu both do not have 32 bit, so I cant use anything based on those.

FS for data exchange between Linux and Windows?

I have Windows and Linux installed on my computer and want to make partition available in both OS. I've tried using NTFS in that role previously and met some problems with software run in Wine working with files saved at NTFS partition. exFAT was the second try that works well (but I didn't tried the scenario that caused problems described above). What community can say about the filesystem choice for an exchange partition located on SSD?

What are cool little Linux features you recently discovered?

Just recently started getting into it (so this will also contribute to my learning) but I’ll start anyways:

The terminal allows you to search previous commands (instead of pressing up-arrow):

history | grep <command>

Just saw this on r/ProgrammerHumor, to give credit where credit is due.

[WINE] Disney+ streaming service works on Linux with Chrome + Wine

To my surprise, I've discovered that the new Disney+ streaming service works on Linux, if you run the Windows Chrome web browser inside of Wine.

I used Lutris + Wine "lutris-nofshack" 4.19. Esync, DXVK, and D9VK are all disabled. Sound and full-screen are all working.

What would it take to get Linux on par with Mac OS for portability & battery Life?

That is to say without extra B.S like power top and TLP. What will this require?

Even just an essential pointer to the kind of work required to get us to such a level?

Any idea as to the cost perhaps?

I tried several distro and so far the best was Solus Linux and Fedora for mobile battery life. But, neither of this compare to Mac OS to this day. Even on a MacBook I get about 4 hours in difference of battery life. Which for someone who is always out and about this is pretty significant.

&#x200B;

I just don't understand why we need hundreds of distro options and no legitimate priority on this power management issue.

Pros and Cons: Linux as a VM in OSX

I have a new macbook pro and am unable to install linux natively due to the T2 chip (boo apple). I am considering running Arch inside a VM and using it pretty much exclusively. Is this a reasonable strategy?

FSF-recommended Distro?

Why are so few people using 100% free-software Distros like the 10 or so that are recommended by the FSF [here](https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html)?

What is the point of using Linux if you are gonna use a proprietary blob containing mess like the U\_b\_u\_n\_t\_u or others?

If you are going to install proprietary crap, why not start out with a clean and free Distro and then install proprietary abusive software where needed?

If you want to eat a sandwich why not start out with fresh, clean slices of bread and then if you decide you cant live without shit then you can still apply the shit to your own liking later? but why start out with a shit-sandwhich to begin with?

&#x200B;

Isn't Freedom the main motivation to use Linux? (including the freedoms to use your computers any way you darn please?) Then why go with something that has proprietary blobs/software built in?
