install gentoo

Unplug the cable
or
Install everything on an external USB HDD, then the light never turns on

The cable is for the entire front panel, including USB ports and headphone jack, I'm almost certain

Unplug the hdd led jumper from the motherboard

place a piece of tape over the light.

OP here, turns out I'm literally an idiot
The USB 3 header cables were all on one plug, but the lights and shit were individuals. Yanked the HD indicator LED and power button LED connectors and life is good

Either you put a small piece of tape over it or you go inside the computer and unplug the cable.

>can't be done from the os
don't be a pleb. you can mount the os itself in a tmpfs. also get a backup power supply of you decide to go this route.

>>59756638
DID YOU EVEN ASSEMBLE YOUR COMPUTER

>>59758473
Of course the lights were individual. Did you really think there was only one led for the entire little panel?

>>59756700
you're joking right? there are separate connectors for each specific lights on all non custom built motherboards

>>59756470
Don't be a retard, unplug the led cable from the motherboard. Really easy. If you are uaing linux just disable that from software so you can turn it on whenever you want.
