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
My Dell monitor’s brightness can adjusted on Bazzite Linux out of the box but I’ve never been able to get this working on Linux Mint, Arch, Debian nor NixOS :/
Last week windows update stopped my laotop from recognizing external monitors altogether. Had to add nvidia tools and mess with system topology etc.
Meanwhile on Linux it was still fine, and also default on GNOME quick settings had a toggle for keyboard backlight on / off That’s a nice touch when somebody thinks of those little things.
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.
