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.

Where did you see this information?
The ability for a screen to sync with something like an RGB backlight would be about the driver. Some RGB lights on keyboards don't even have an interface controller, meaning they just cycle whatever is programmed into the keyboard controller itself (Lenovo as an example). Are you sure you even have a controllable one?
It's in the announcement for Plasma 6.1, see https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/
To enable it, you need to use the Brightness & Colour widget. See also the merge request for this: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4093
I guess the documentation is a bit lagging still! I don't know about a list of compatible keyboards, but I suppose you can just try it out to see if it works! 😁
