i don't know linux enough to know what's driving my laptop's screen brightness and why it sucks
this is a xubuntu installation i put mate on top of and what it does is after the idle time the screen dims but after i move the mouse it doesn't come back to the brightness setting i had it at, it comes back to whatever default is set in the config
so i have to keep bumping it up manually every few minutes
i love linux
and trying to find this issue on google only gets me results for ubuntu and linux mint regarding the brightness not saving across reboots but my issue isn't even that it's that it's not saving it across *five minutes*
linux is so easy to use and never breaks and is not cryptic at all ever
