I currently use the g915, but switching to Linux means no Logitech software so im looking for some alternatives.

I really like the 5 programable keys on the left, but I can't seem to find any other keyboards that have that feature. I also like that its Bluetooth and has music control, but I mainly want the programmable keys

Anything that supports either Via or preferably VIAL is fully configurable in Linux (and windows). Both use QMK firmware for the keyboards, although it has to be compiled to support either Via or VIAL, this is usually done for you. QMK is open source, so a nice fit for Linux and device longevity.

I believe a large chunk of Keychrons support Via with a firmware flash, but I haven't tried those.
