Hey Guys,
I am brand new to Garuda, however, I am not new to Linux. I have used PopOS for 2 years now and Manjaro prior to that. Likewise, I also tried Arch Linux, however, that was a very long time ago. With Garuda, I am finding a few things that I don't understand and lots of things that are new to me. One issue that I am having is that the screen dims with the dim setting turned off. Sometimes it goes so dark, I cannot see what's on my screen. I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is a fix in order to keep the dim effect off.
FYI: It happens mostly when I am surfing the web regardless of the browser I am using.
