Have a Logitec k400r keyboard and the install file is an .exe file. Very new to Debian. Cant seem to find how to install the file.

The short answer is that's a Windows program file, and you usually don't run those on Linux.

If you're wondering about a Linux driver for the keyboard, those are mostly part of the kernel. Debian has a program called solaar that you might be looking for: https://packages.debian.org/buster/solaar

In a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install solaar

That's great! Could you please edit the header of your first post in the thread, and add [SOLVED] to the front of it. So anyone browsing forums sees it does not require further actions, or someone with similar problem could see this solution.
