I can’t control my off-brand external monitor brightness connected from my laptop on w11, but I can just fine on Linux out of the box no fucking around needed

    I used Monitorian when I was using Windows years ago, you can find it in the Microslop Store (if it’s still available)

      The message you’re seeing is Monitorian, it complained about ddc/ci, I never had to deal with ddc/ci on Linux

        I had to install a package to make ddc/ci work on Linux, it might just be a Debian thing tho

      Windows power toys added a thing to control the monitor. It lets you do brightness and contrast like monitorian. But it also gives you changing inputs, changing color temperature, and a few other things.
