Acer Predator Helios 300 - Ubuntu 20.04 RGB keyboard backlight

Hello everyone,
I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop. I decided to use Linux because it works better, stable, and cooler than WIndows 10. On the background, windows 10 runs many services which cause overheat and less performance. Some of them deal with data sharing and resist being disabled. I will keep it anyway in the second driver because not all programs are available in Linux
I have tried different distributions like Manjaro, Fedora, PopOS, OpenSuse with different desktop environments but I decided to install Ubuntu. All of them worked perfectly especially Manjaro and Fedora but they had some common issues like boot loader and dual graphic driver. All of them can be used in dual boot mode but in this case, you lose access to BIOS because current BIOS can not handle two different EFI boot managers. Also, you have to disable secure boot which I don't want to do. Only Fedora can be used with a secure boot but it has Optimus driver issue. It can be solved but takes some time. Also when I install distributions mentioned above, in BIOS there is some ghost naming issue in the boot order section.
So I noticed that only ubuntu works well with secure boot and dual graphics. But one issue I haven't solved yet is RGB keyboard lighting. Keyboard backlight works but only with blue light. Also when I try to increase the keyboard backlight brightness, the system decreases LCD brightness. The backlight decreasing button works as usual. I don't know whether this is kernel related or system does not support. I tried to solve this issue but yet no success.
Has anyone solved this issue or? If I know which controller use this RGB system maybe some driver can be programmed.

Good afternoon lhmlyz !

I also sought this option and without success.
Recently a friend gave me a repository link that he said he got access to.
If you decide to try, return me here informing if it was possible:

lhmlyz The issue with linux is that its not officially supported by any manufacturer that im aware of so theres no guarantee that everything will work fine or even a way to get it to work because the manufacturers software developers are only developing for windows and indeed linux is way better than windows in everything especially security but unfortunately microsoft had and still has the consumer market and all manufacturers in their hands so they still keep doing whatever they want also regarding windows you can optimise it properly by disabling all those useless spyware services and undervolt it and even if needed repaste it with kryonaut or similar in order to keep the temps low but theres nothing like linux if only manufacturers would start to develop on it that would be great

You can try to adapt this project:

@xapim Surprisingly, Linux identifies and installs most of the drivers. Actually temperatures in Linux during gaming and idle are lower than windows. I disable most of data sharing services in windows but this is not enough. I use group policy and O&O ShutUp10 tools but somehow disabled services are turned on again. Windows 10 does something in every step. Actually, Microsoft has a Windows 10 LTSC version which is an unbloated version of Windows 10, but it is no accessible by consumers. Some manufacturers like Dell sells laptop with pre-installed Linux. I don't expect Acer will release something for Linux but it would be great if they share some information on hardware.

lhmlyz acer also ships linux in some countries but its a unusable OS just bash console nothing else whoever gets it will have to format everything unfortunately its juss to lower the price on the units asked by some resellers in some countries as the windows are more expensive
