m16 R1, OpenRGB/AlienFX Linux Keyboard LED Updates, uses Maximum 65W for CPU

The m16 R1 is a best, theoretically. However, due to some wild graphics issues under Windows, I've had to switch to Linux. Specifically Arch Linux as Ubuntu was NOT working. 

1) OpenRGB and AlienFX are unable to control the LED colors and zones on the keyboard. How long until those projects are provided with the information they need in order to support LED control. (I can set the colors under Windows, but they do not persist at reboot) 

2) Even under full load, the CPU caps at 65W, sometimes throttling to 55W even tho temps are 55-65 degress. So there is something wrong here. The CPU should be able to do 75W to 105W apparently according to various white paper documentation and other resources. 

What is needed for that to be resolved? One of the various Ryzen tools to be updated? An AMD platform update? 

Or: Alienware Command Center for Linux. It can be written for Ubuntu, for example but then a PKGBUILD created to install the .DEB on Arch Linux. EndeavourOS, Manjaro, etc. 

Its 2023 and we have AI tools to help streamline professional workloads. It seems as though one of those could be utilized to optimize the Dell driver workflow not just for Windows but also for Linux-based OSs.
