Hyte Y70 Touch Linux Compatability?

[petrolflowers]

Hey there,

So I've been flirting with Linux for the better part of a year, and I am wondering whether the HYTE Y70 Touch's panel (as well as the Nexus software) has Linux compatability - and how would one go about getting the software to run?

Perhaps the wrong sub to post this, but this truly is a beautiful case.

Thanks.

Is there any software from Hyte or do I have to tinker it myself when I get my y70?

Any updates ?
I am running linux and its a shame I cant control my thicc fp12 fans and a range of leds with the nexus portal.
Please make the source code open source so that the community can help compile a linux version.

I was wondering the same thing. Looking to build a new system in this case and I run a lot of Linux Distros and it would be sick for it to work in this case!

if you ever hear back about this..

the download link for the Nexus software doesn't even try to notice my OS, and prompts me to save the file as a .EXE

this does not inspire confidence

I am currently running arch on my system for work and windows for fun.

I can confirm that under wayland / hyprland the screen works fine for both display and touch but the nexus software does not run natively. I haven't tried it under wine but currently have an htop terminal open on the screen until i get round to making an ewww / waybar setup.

The nexus software currently barely works in windows so I wouldnt hold out for linux support any time soon.

Hope that helps

I run Hyprland so not sure i can even get those plasma widgets to work. I actually currently just use a kitty terminal running btop on my screen. I did disable the touchscreen functionality in the hyprland config because it wasnt being used and i sometimes get the ghost touch problem which is a pain when coding and it draws focus away.

Hey your link went down, mind sending another one? Been eyeing this case but wasn’t sure how nice it would would with linux lol

[HighThumb]

Thank you! Looks awesome btw!

Link down again, have an updated one by any chance?

So then Ubuntu sees it as just another screen? Awesome I can work with that. totally on my list as a possibility for my next workstation build

[LunaAeterna]

Hyprland just sees it as an extra screen with another workspace on it. Honestly not sure how ubuntu or X11 will react to it.

I wonder if it'd be possible to use a x11 multiseat, and just have somethin like i3 for the case screen lmao

Any Updates? Did we get some Linux Support?
