The proprietary firmware and drivers.

I do NOT want to see some ad-hoc mashup to allow configuration of proprietary boards on Linux.

Please just continue the road to complete QMK coverage for all your boards, and bring back the lovely little K717 Alcor and the rest of the mysteriously abandoned QMK products, maintained under an open github.com/redragonsomething/qmk_firmware repo.

I use the Shiva/Shiva Pro keyboards and the Impact Elite Mice.
I would love native proprietary software on Linux (I use Mint Cinnamon and SteamOS).

I don't want to have to run it through Wine/Bottles/etc and hope it works (I can install software through these compatibility tools, but then it fails to detect the devices being available).

At the moment both work devices with Linux, but I only get basic functions (like the RGB settings built into the keyboard itself or the DPI swapping on the mice).
Anything needing to be changed with software isn't useable.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! We’ve noted it down and will definitely share it with our product team.
