From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dim screen setting is ignored (lemm.ee)

Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this?

I want my laptop display to not dim when the device is inactive. However, when I go into GNOME's settings and uncheck the option under Power Saving my choice is disregarded; the screen still dims. Is it being overridden somewhere?

Fedora Workstation 41

It looks like you're right - just checked and it only seems to happen when Power Saver is selected in GNOME. Do you know if anything can be done to prevent dimming in this mode?
