I can’t control my off-brand external monitor brightness connected from my laptop on w11, but I can just fine on Linux out of the box no fucking around needed

    This week I nad to install Wi*dows on my old laptop so I could give it to my dad.

    It turns out that for some reason microslop does not include the NVMe drivers for this platform in the installer. Never had this issue when installing Linux on it. Image my confusion when I found out this was the issue.

      lol. That brings back memories. I did that once, and then I kept getting asked Windows tech support questions.

      So now I don’t bother. Linux Mint is more than good enough for my random family use.

        Ya, I put mint on a rig for my aunt, didn’t even tell her it wasn’t windows. Granted all she ever uses is the browser, but she seems happy with it. 10/10
