Some ~~people~~ - particularly those using laptops - are encountering a problem where the screen brightness is too dim upon replacing Microsoft Windows with a Linux distribution as their main operating system. ~~Although it affects all Linux distributions, the problem~~ is ~~actually due to the computer's BIOS settings. Certain~~ hardware manufacturers have ~~set it up so that~~ if Windows is not detected running on ~~their systems~~, the ~~backlight is automatically disabled~~.
