The default behavior of the pavilion 600 keyboard forces you to press the Fn key to use the fkeys, which is terrible. Is there any hope to change this behaviour or do I have no option but manually changing the shortcuts for every f and media key?
I'm using Ubuntu 18 with KDE, if that matters.

Fn key behavior must be change directly inside the BIOS.
To access at BIOS, turn ON your computer and press immediately F10 key (you can spam the key, but it's as effective if you stay pressing F10 key until you see BIOS window) -> I say F10 key, but it could change in function of your computer
Go to System Configuration -> Action Key Mode
Switch off / Disabled this option to have F1 and others keys as primary (increase volume must be done with Fn + F3)
