Advice needed with Mchose ace 68 air

Hey, i just got my new keyboard but it won't work with Linux, i learned today that Mchose apparently ships the majority of their keyboards only with a windows driver.
Does anyone know a workaround or how to get the driver running on other systems?

Also keyboard recommendations who definitely work on linux would be very appreciated. only condition is that it needs to be 65%

Can't connect new keyboard

Hey, i just got my new keyboard, Mchose ace 68 air, upon plugin it in it enters a reconnect loop.
I tried installing their desktop app driver with heroic games launcher, yes i know it sounds stupid but i got a lot of windows only applications working this way before. It didn't work this time though.
Their web hub did recognize it in brave but i couldn't change anything.
The usb port recognizes any other device with no problems and changing the port to connect to didn't work either.

Then i found this on the AUR but wasn't sure if and how exactly it works.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mchose-ace68-udev
I understand it as making a udev rule file with just

# Mchose Ace68
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="41e4", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="41e4", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"

dmesg shows the following with reconnecting my corsair keyboard at the end.

I think kernel error 71 is a protocoll error, right? what could that mean in this case?

I haven't found anything other online so far, would be great if someone had an idea what i could try.

Weird problem with mountpoints

Hey, i have this weird problem i couldn't find a solution to.
I have two ssds for gaming, their names, labels and mountpoint are just gen3x4 and gen4x4.

Sometimes they switch the mountpoints though, so gen4x4 suddenly has the mountpoint gen3x4 and the 4x4 has mountpoint 3x4.
In fstab they're writen down as /dev/nvme0n1p1 and /dev/nvme1n1p1, i read that someone recommended to use the PARTUUID instead of the UUID but idk if it would change anything in my case.

Hey, so i'm trying to setup a server for my and friends but can't decide on panel to work with.

Currently i run vanilla Arch with that server preset, with docker and Dockhand which works pretty good so far and Traefik as a reverse proxy. I'm still learning how traefik works tho.

At first i tried Crafty Controller which i only got semi workin but that was propably just because of my own incompetence to be honest.
I tried AMP with Playit.gg, which looked good but didn't wanted to work quite right. and Playit just refused to work at all.
Today i tried SquidServers which did work with minor problems so far but they lack a few options for me.

So are there any real alternatives anymore?

I know there is Pterodactyl but that looked quite complex for my limited knowledge.
