Hello,
Just installed Garuda with I3 and got a problem
Every 3 seconds the brightness change from high to low then low to high, like a very slow flickering...
It almost fells like my laptop is constantly entering into power saving mode just to leave it a couple of second after.
So I tried to unplug but.. nop, brightness is till switching again and again.
And yes it started as soon has I was in the Garuda installer.
