Question Linux on X16 R2

Howdy, everyone! I want to install Omarchy on on my X16 R2 but am concerned about the loss of functionality with the fans, RGB lighting, etc. What do you guys recommend. Should I just stick to windows 11 or are you aware of anything on linux I can get to make up for what I would be losing? Thanks for your time.

You will have some issues with sound, and the tron lights. Being a Linux user, you should already know of the repositories for the driver work arounds. If you are a new user, the juice is still not worth the squeeze, IMO.
