From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you want to write drivers you'll need some really good documentation on how to interact with the device.
Then when you have that ask ChatGPT how to write a driver, it'll most likely not do the best job on writing it in Rush so for a sample code asking for C code will give better result.
You’re right, I didn’t consider documentation being a problem never written a driver . I just assumed it was pretty easy for something with just 12 buttons. Any pointers on REing. I’m assuming victrix doesn’t put out any docs on their sticks
