This is interesting. I’ve been plagued by an issue for the last few weeks on my AMD Framework where the screen with dramatically change contrast and brightness based on the contents.

oh man, I’ve been wondering what the heck was wrong with my KDE Plasma wayland, why colors started to look so washed out with power save or balance profiles, I had to stay on performance always hahaha now I know why
