Since switching from Windows to Zorin my keyboard no longer lights up so I can clearly see the letters. Any way to fix that? Thanks.
If it is a notebook keyboard, there should be a key combo you can press, to turn your keyboard lighting on. Additionally, if its an external keyboard, it should have the same. Pictures to illustrate...
My built in notebook SteelSeries keyboard.
My external SteelSeries keyboard.
If these options are not available to you as they are to me, you can download amd install OPENRGB Experimental 0.91, and as long as your devices are supported, you can administrate them.
Please note, Zorin OS assumes 0 responsibility for openrgb. If you need support, you can get it directly on their Discord server. Hopefully, you have the combo keys on your keyboard.

What combo of keys do you use? I have tried many different ones but none work. In Windows I used to be able to hit scroll lock for on and off. I bought this desktop used so it didn't come with instructions. Thanks.
Could You tell us what Keyboard do You have?
Not a real fix ,but in terminal you can type
xset led on
and
xset led off
There is a way to keep led on after reboots but I can't remember how lol. A quick search should solve that.
Maybe a little bash script to run at startup, I'll check when I'm home.
At work on my phone now. My holiday is over 1st day back at work 
If you look at my picture, you will see the windows key to the right of the ctrl key. Hold down the windows key, and press the corrosponding function keys to turn up the brightness. On my internal keyboard, its the F10 and F11 keys. On my external keyboard, its the F11 and F12 keys.
if
xset led on
works for you ( it only works on x11 not wayland) , then you can do the following to make it permanent
-open startup applications settings - application auto start
-add new entry
name: set LED on
command: xset led on
you can choose a trigger at drop down box , i just choose at login
-save it
thats it .
PS : i'm on Lite so yours might have slightly different menus/names
(also on windows my external keyboard light worked with the normal key , but on linux it didn't)
UPDATE : ok a day later ... i did this on my setup and at login the keyboard light comes on , but after some time ( random times like a hour or 2 hours or 20min ) it goes off by itself .
i'm not gonna bother with it anymore lol i don't need the lights on
UPDATE: I removed the application autostart for LED ,but keyboard light still comes on after login , AND NOW STAYS ON ...lol
Oh boy
