Ubuntu 24.10

Been using 24.10 Budgie and everything seems to work great. The fingerprint sensor works but of course Budgie doesn’t support it yet for login.

ok that was easy! You can get fingerprint login working with sudo pam-auth-update --enable fprintd then a restart.

Heh heh. User error, sort of. Although I have kubuntu installed, after the upgrade my login defaulted to gnome, which I never use. So nothing was working as expected. On restart I noticed a little, almost invisible notice that I was going to load gnome. I was able to switch it to KDE and now everything works as expected.

Update : setting automatic dim screen when idle 100% through terminal did the job for me. From what I found out is for some reason whenever any video is playing and during video if the laptop stays idle like no mouse movements or keystrokes sometimes the idle function enable and tries to dim the screen when video is playing which causes some issues followed by laptop being super laggy
terminal command :
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 100

There is one more method add amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 to the kernel parameters. This disables PSR (Panel Self-Refresh).
