When my laptop is on battery, the brightness changes depending on what’s on the screen.
It changes when I maximize or minimize a window, when I open or close a tooltip, when the visual bell goes off in my terminal, when I move my mouse onto something, when I’m watching a video with no input.
It is extremely annoying and I would like it to stop happening.
All the solutions I have seen only work for a Dell Inspiron with Intel CPU, and mine is AMD.
System stats
Hardware: Dell Inspiron 15 with AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon graphics.
Software: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) with Linux 6.12.43 kernel and KDE Plasma 6.3.6 desktop
Can’t find it in my BIOS. I tried modifying a “screen efficiency” setting, no change. All the other “power management” settings are related to the battery.
Hmm, not sure then. It might be called something different. But I do know exactly the thing you mean from having it on my work computers, and I find it very annoying, too.
