• Software brightness breaks

    From Oles Andrela@3:633/10 to All on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 18:10:01
    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a problem that after waking from sleep my software
    brightness change stops working. Logging out of session fixes the problem.
    I'm kinda newbie in Linux so I cannot provide a lot of valuable information
    by myself.
