I'm using an ASUS Laptop running Mint and Garuda. Haven't decided which OS to keep. I'm trying to run OpenRGB for the laptop and both OS give the same error. I'm not very intelligent so I need basic instructions or link to a write up.
This is the actual error msg:
"One or more I2C/SMBus interfaces failed to initialize. RGB DRAM modules and some motherboards' onboard RGB lighting will not be available without I2C/SMBus. On Linux, this is usually because the i2c-dev module is not loaded. You must load the i2c-dev module along with the correct i2c driver for your motherboard. This is usually i2c-piix4 for AMD systems and i2c-i801 for Intel systems."
This might be beyond my comprehension. I'm using a intel system.

Installed libi2c-dev. After install had to reinstall KDE.
sudo modprobe i2c-dev
sudo modprobe i2c-piix4
Appeared to do nothing. Still getting same error msg with OpenRGB.
