Hi, again!
So, first of all, this is a refurbished laptop I bought back at 2021 (probably a model from 2019 or 2020, if that’s considered old enough)
Now, I have forced the laptop to trigger the issue by repeatedly closing and opening right now and I am writing as the screen flashes at this moment:
Having tried increasing brightness up to 100 %, the issue persists. Additionally, lowering all the way down to 0 % doesn’t solve it either.
Thank you, though; I’ll keep looking for clues.
This is such a cool fact; I’m a sucker for these things, I’m saving this post.
Thank you; I’ll look into it, though, out of curiosity
I’ve discarded it after their AI use to switch to Rust
Yes, I used Ubuntu’s GNOME and Mint’s Cinammon when trying those distros, but the issue was also present.
I’ve gotta ask, what is dwm / Sway?
Thanks; will try when I get home
Thank you!
Exactly my thought
This is all sorts of wrong
So, you didn’t ask anything.
Also, Reddit’s not the whole world, especially when it comes to the Linux community.
I am in a position to confirm that it is indeed cool.
As an Spaniard, this is the bare minimum I expect from my government. Better yet would be to evict the US from the Rota and Morón bases.
The most I’ve payed for a phone has been 350 €. Alternatives to the current duopoly must exist and I am glad they are getting more recognition, but this would still be double of what I am willing to pay; like, I earn 1,151 € a month, so 700 is the better part of my salary.
Are there any sickos that use black text on white?
Hi.
I think the other way around: I read black letters on white paper when I read a book; why shouldn’t it be the same on a screen? I find the black background more fatiguing for the eyes.
It is the superior choice, doesn’t have ads, doesn’t try to sell you shit, it never updates without your permission, it doesn’t spy on you, it doesn’t sell your data, it is the superior choice, and penguins be cute.
Laughs in Debian
That’s so nice to hear! Thank you so much for sharing. I’ll definitely have OpenSUSE on my list to try sometime and if for some reason I need to switch my system
Hi, and thank you for your detailed reply. You brought up a few interesting points I hadn’t considered.
While I haven’t had time today to look into all your suggestions, I’ve focused on the last two related to the BIOS:
First of all, aparently, my BIOS does not have, or at least I have not found, an option to disable either GPU. Perhaps I’m missing something but, going to the advanced settings, this is all that shows up:
Secondly, I have run the “inxi -Faz” command and it tells me my BIOS version is from January 2021. According to my laptop’s manufacturer website, the latest BIOS driver available for my system dates from March 2021, so I’m not sure it would make a great difference, but I will still look into how it could be updated without using Windows (which I no longer have lol).
As soon as I have the time, I’ll take a look at your other suggested points as well.
Thank you and have a nice evening!
