I have a MasterLiquid Atmos II LCD and the manufacturer intended program to control it is MasterCTRL but there is no linux version of the program. I tried to run it through Wine but with no luck and in all my searching i haven’t found an alternative program that supports it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to control this AIO on linux?
Welcome to the Manjaro community @ImE
I’m sure you have probably already done a lot of searching to no avail. I’ve just done some looking around too, and it looks like the MasterCTRL application is definitely Windows-only. However, others here may be more familiar with Cooler Master machines & be able to offer further advice.
This Reddit thread: How to change LCD images via Linux : r/coolermaster has a reply from 8 months ago which does mention:

There are also a lot of openrgb plugins available from the AUR which can add extra functionality:

I built my machine with Masterliquid (either PL240 Flux or PL360 … can’t remember) for the main cooling system and it works perfectly.
edit: but I suppose, probably irrelevant to you if you want all the bells and whistles that the controller adds. I’d be curious myself if there is anything in the AUR. I’ve never looked.
You might try CoolerControl and see if it supports your device(s). See the Hardware Support documentation for more info. It’s available in the AUR as coolercontrol (builds from source) or coolercontrol-bin (binary release).
