Well the big point of this post was I don’t understand why even if there is a solution locking the thread after 3 days maybe isn’t the greatest idea.
If that’s the way the forum operates then that’s just how it is. “Necro-bumping” I suppose is the concern here but sometimes Necro-bumping is constructive…here’s an example…
I posted this question on the Manjaro forum recently…
I have had this problem forever on this machine, and I decided to try to fix it again. My assumption was it always had something to do with Plasma or Gnome or Manjaro, then as I marked in that solution, I came across this post on Level1techs
I necro-bumped that thread just to say “hey this worked for me too”. Out of millions of monitors on the market, I can’t be one of 2 people who have had this issue and runs Linux. Even tho the thread is 1.5 years old, it’s still a valid fix. It’s a little easier to find if someone confirms it as a fix.
