ASUS ZX53V Keyboard Drivers (New to Linux)

Hello. I'm starting my Linux journey by trying to keep some of my old computers working. So this is non-critical and more me trying to learn.

Edit: I see I asked the question wrong initially. It's just the backlite doesn't work. Not the keyboard itself. Apologies.

I have Bazzite running on an old (2017 'old') laptop. The ASUS ZX53V. But obviously, the backlit keyboard doesn't work, as well as the FN keys.

I've done some searches and learned that I probably can't get all my functionality back. But that's fine. But I could be completely wrong and this is fruitless. So hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Like one lead I found was a project named ASUSCTL
But when I explore instructions to install, I just find what look like command lines? Which I have no idea how to use. I don't fully understand the terminal yet.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this.
