Sponsorships Seems to Be Coming to Arch Linux!

A proposal looks to introduce a transparent sponsorship process to Arch Linux.

It's FOSS News

Looking at the laptop screen at night with no surrounding ambient light is uncomfortable.

I struggled with the 2 low settings of brightness: a blank display (0%) or lasers into my eyes (10%).

`brightnessctl set 1%` is good.

Now I've figured out that #Xfce can change the number of steps (from the default 10). Moreover, it supports exponential steps (more natural for the human eye).

With 27 exponential steps, the first 10 options are "almost 0%". Perfection!

Windows Was The Problem All Along

And this isn't even the biggest difference...

I've seen machines where #Windows10 on a SATA-6G - saturating #SSD got creamed by a 7200rpm SATA-II 7200rpm #HDD with everything else being the same.

¿Soy yo o #GNOME 49 no está consiguiendo venderme la moto? De ser así, sería la primera vez que mantenga una versión de #Fedora #Silverblue por seis meses más, hasta el lanzamiento de la versión 44 para ser más exactos.
