Re: Brightness and tint settings not automatic on reboot

As far as I know (been using EasyOS since Buster), these have never worked. These settings have never been automatic (and were probably never meant to be automatic): one must set them every time the system boots, but that doesn't require more than 1 or 2 seconds. It is so fast that it became an auto...

If you don't like / want the hibernation when you close the lid, if I remember well, you can just edit the file lid.sh file, located inside the folder /etc/acpi/ and simply comment the line which says << /usr/sbin/pm-suspend >>. The file should look as follows: #!/bin/sh /bin/grep -q open /proc/acpi...

What kind of hardware do you need to make this fast enough to be usable?

Re: Puzzling bug booting EasyOS from USB stick

Desktops usually have an internal cable which connects the USB headers on the motherboard to the physical ports on the front of the case. This cable introduces latency, and there may also be electromagnetic interference. So make sure to connect your USB stick directly to the motherboard (on the back...
