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.

    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
