Hi! Not sure if this is the place, but updating to Fedora 41 I lost the option to enable automatic screen brightness. I just tried loading a Live USB of Fedora 40 and 41, and on 40 is showing up but 41 not.

How is 41’s stability? Any bugs?
On Fedora 41 myself, seems like the Kernal version 6.9+ seems to have issues with USB-C devices but 6,8.9 and below don’t seem to have the issue.
For some people it means they can’t use dual USB-C external monitors, but my issue is even one external display will have issues when USB-C charger is plugged in.
Does anybody else’s Framework feel a bit choppy after the kernel update to 6.12.4 on Fedora 41? It’s hard to explain, but it doesn’t feel as smooth as when I boot into the 6.11.11 kernel. Feels like it misses a frame every now and then or so.
Edit: Perhaps it is this issue? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3742
As per: Wayland lag/stuttering since kernel 6.11.2 - #21 by fbl adding amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 as kernel parameter may be a workaround.
Edit2: The above workaround works for me

Had the same issue. Setting the kernel parameter worked for me as well.
Thanks!
How did you do it?
Could you please share the command? I tried with grubby but I’m still having the mouse (and touchpad) choppiness, so either I did it wrong or it’s another problem 
Thanks!
Also, I hope I’m not speaking too soon, but it seems that booting previous kernel made the issue go away: 6.11.4-301.fc41.x86_64
Found the solution here:
And now the choppiness is gone with 6.12.4
I have to say, this was my first ever experience with an AMD chip, but I’ve almost completely lost faith in them providing a good experience on Linux.
Compared to my previous Intel-based DELL, I have far worse battery life and many more unpredictable behaviors. The GPU drivers are a constant source of regressions (they already took a while to become “usable”, anyone with this HW in 2023 will remember the infamous hard freezes when watching youtube in full screen, among others).
CPU also occasionally locks up (check threads opened by me recently, there’s one about workqueue lockup).
It’s a bit of s*itshow, TBH.
Next chip will be Intel again.
