    I’ve mostly narrowed down what laptop I’m going to buy and it seems to have come down between the Aero 15 OLED and Aero 17. I was about ready to pull the trigger on the aero 15 OLED until I found out Linux does not have the ability to change brightness on OLED panels. This is really frustrating as I was really looking forward to getting that laptop as a dual boot system with windows. As for everything else are these gigabyte systems good with Linux compatibility? I decided for a laptop it makes most sense to run Pop OS since it supports Nvidia Optimus and many others say it works well for them.

    Thoughts?
