Hey people. I have installed Garuda Linux Dragonized Edition 3 days ago. And I have a problem. After some time of inactivity my primary monitor (Samsung C32JG5x @144hz),'s brightness turns to exactly 9. I have tried to check the settings, this forum, Google and different AI’s to try to help me. Nothing worked, so this and Reddit will be my last resort. For clarification, I do not have Eye Saver Mode or any Brightness changer mode as it works perfectly fine on Windows 10. Here is the inxi thing:
