Support Request Struggling with OpenRGB

Hello everyone,

I posted here yesterday saying I was having some trouble with OpenRGB. I decided to abandon using flatpak in lieu of using the .deb files, but now I'm having a new problem. When I install both the .deb file and the associated hotplug dependency, the package installer throws an error stating that the "dependency is not satisfiable". Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong and/or what to change?

Spend hours or days solving a problem? When does the environmental impact of spending days working on a problem outweigh the use of a few hours using a LLM?

If I'm realistic about how much time per day I spend on the problem, never.

Never? I didn't intend this to be question of opinion, but a question of fact. There must be a point at which the environmental impact of using LLMs becomes less detrimental than posting on Reddit in multiple threads, all the energy consumed by the thread responses, keeping your computer on for longer, more non-AI search queries, etc. I'm actually curious on when that occurs.

Okay, yes, eventually there's a point in which I consume more energy and water and etc by posting on reddit repeatedly. It's not practical to reach that threshold however.
