ok, thanks

Yeah, I did the update grub thing. It didn't work. I feel a bit silly really complaining about this. It's not exactly destroying my life but I just like things to work properly. But I can live with this.

Ok, slept on it. I can't go back to Windows now after all I've been through with Linux. I'll just have to accept that I have to shut the computer down when I go out. I've noticed that Zorin gives the best functionality with the brightness staying the same (instead of being dim after booting) and...

Ok, that hasn't worked. I've now spent 3 weeks trying to resolve this issue instead of working on my tracks. I haven't got time to spend the entire weekend reading every single time I have a small tech issue. I don't want to become a super geek. I am a musician and just want to record an album...

Ok, I figured it out. Not exactly intuitive

Can't see how to save it...Jesus jumping H christ...This is absolute murder! How to edit the file and save it. Everything is just so complex with linux! Everything!

Yeah, I'm using sudo nano /etc/default/grub to edit it now

I'm on Cinnamon atm...

But what specific commands do you think I should enter into the terminal?

Ok, I'll try it but I am really coming to the end of my tether here.

Ran the script with high hopes. Now the laptop won't boot (I'm on my other one now). It won't even boot up. This is literally driving me mad. I just want a working laptop that functions as it should and to use a DAW that functions as it should. How bitterly, bitterly disappointing this is.

Hey, look at this. It's an ACPI workaround: http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html I must admit. This has got my hopes up. As I now notice that not only can I not suspend the computer, but the brightness controls don't work either. And the audio issue is back this morning...

I watched a YouTube video today with some Linux guru saying that Linux is just not always compatible with some hardware and there's nothing that can be done. I wish I had known that before I had bought this laptop. I started with Linux about 1yr and 9 months ago and it worked just fine on my old...

Yeah, it's all just a conspiracy theory. All those millions of crazy conspiracy theorists marching the streets worldwide. Anyway, I didn't come here to argue about CONVID. I didn't renege on anything. I was insulted and I defended myself in a pretty mild way and that was that. Apart from that...

The other guy started it. I see you don't pull him up. I've racked my brains over this and resent being told that I'm not willing to learn or that perhaps Windows is better suited to me. Anyway, we dropped it and deleted the posts so why get involved now? By the way, it's not COVID that's the...
