From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looks like that keyboard is VIA-compatible. So, you should be able to use VIA to remap the keys so the Fn keys are under a certain layer or something.

do i use the website or some program? the website isnt supported on firefox

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

The website: https://caniusevia.com/

Correct, Firefox is not supported. VIA requires WebHID, which is a web standard that Firefox does not support. You can install something like Ungoogled Chromium for this. I keep that browser installed just for tinkering with keyboards. For literally everything else, I use a Firefox fork.

its says that it "does not seem to respond like a VIA-enabled keyboard.". Is there any firmware i need to install or something?

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Apparently some versions of that keyboard's PCB come with VIA compatibility, and some do require a firmware update or something. Unfortunately, this is not all well documented for this vendor.
