Description audreywolfe17 2025-05-26 01:39:47 UTC 
Brightness defaults to 29% whenever a new session is started, was previously defaulting to 41%
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2025-05-26 11:21:39 UTC 
It previously didn't touch brightness.
Due to a gamescope change, the brightness value in sysfs became unreliable and it is reset it to something consistent. This is a steamos specific change.
