Enable your MacBook's Backlit Keyboard in Lubuntu

Lubuntu runs excellently on old MacBooks. Out of the box though, the backlit keyboard doesn't illuminate. To get your MacBook's backlit keyboard to illuminate is really easy to fix. In this video I'll show you how.
NOTE: In the video I use the Muon Package Manager to install the package. This fix can also be done using the Synaptic Package Manager.

Hi just wondering if I can do this on Pop os

[@StaempunkTV]

@stuartlaw7528 Not sure. Pop_OS! is based on Ubuntu so it should work but I've never tried myself. I'd be interested to know how you go. Cheers!
