KDE Display Brightness Control Not Working on OpenMandriva

I am currently using OpenMandriva Lx ROME and I love it. It boots and loads really fast on my AMD Ryzen laptop. Unfortunately, KDE's brightness control is not working and I have to use xrandr to control the brightness manually. The Simple Solution After reading random forums about this not-really-uncommon issue, I've successfully solved the issue by these following simple steps: Using your favourite text editor, edit /etc/default/grub In GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT remove acpi_backlight=vendor then, add amdgpu.backlight=0 Update grub: sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Reboot the system.

While other major distro were still dealing with proprietary formats, Mandriva gave me full support to play my media collections. It was my first love. Unfortunately, the company behind this distro was struggling with financial problem and the Mandriva project was officaly discontinued in 2012. As the continuation, OpenMandriva was born from the ashes of Mandriva. Recently, OpenMandriva project build a new architecture, called znver, optimized to AMD Ryzen CPU. Also, OpenMandriva release a new version codenamed ROME, a rolling release version that offers newer update regularly. It really makes me curious because I have a Ryzen laptop and I decided to rock this new system on my Ryzen machine. Installation Media OpenMandriva ROME 23.01 has a 2.8 GB iso. Compared to othe KDE Plasma based distro, like Kubuntu, this is relatively small. Nice. Installation...
