Trouble with keyboard on Bazzite
I have a custom keyboard from Qwertykeys. In every linux distro that I have tried, for some reason it identifies the keyboard as an apple keyboard. So this means that the function keys won't work. However, I have gotten them in other distros to work by following this guide: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/getting-the-function-keys-to-work-properly-with-a-varmilo-keyboard/65457
However when I get to the dracut --force command, it doesn't work. Which isn't surprising to me given that this is an atomic distro. My question is, how do I get this fixed on Bazzite? Not having the function keys is a big deal breaker for me.

Getting the function keys to work properly with a Varmilo keyboard
Hi, I recently installed fedora 33, previously running Arch. I have a Varmilo VA88M keyboard. The keyboard identifies as an Apple keyboard in Linux, which causes the F1-F12 keys to not function as they should.

It'll generate automaticallyThank you!
way better solution
rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing="hid_apple.fnmode=2"
no need for initramfs regeneration slowing down updates by a decade
its used literally as an example in our documentation for how to add things to initramfs or messing with modprobe options on modules that already get loaded
