Brightness screen keys doesnt work on laptop
so first install brillo from AUR or from the gitlab source , also you can look at the reference XF86KeySymfrom references , then in your config.h file add this line ```

ELI5 Intel Graphic drivers
In both of those cases, however, there already solutions like picom (to remove tearing) and brillo (to adjust brightness), so I don't really see the point in using vendor-specific DDX drivers nowadays, other than perhaps performance (?).

What is a program that you use that's uncommon but essential for you?
I've replaced systemd-backlight with a brillo wrapper script, because I miss the smooth backlight restore from Windows.

Also I took a census and zero founding members of NWA are "straight outta Picom". That's right, you heard it here first: Not even MC Ren is running Picom.

FPS drops when scrolling in monocle layout with Picom
Update: after reporting in picom GitHub repo this is temporarily solved by using --no-frame-pacing. Looks like a recent commit causes this. You can view the discussion here: https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/1072

In Picom with the rounded-corners setting how do you apply alpha to the menu list?
It looks like this was identified and the repo corrected in Jan (https://github.com/yshui/picom/issues/808) but the NixOS package has not been updated since Nov.

I have two Linux computers which I use for gaming.... somehow the one with slightly inferior hardware gets significantly better performance. I'm trying to figure out why... any ideas?
If you have compositing you are likely using picom. You can check if it's running with ps -A | grep picom. I've never dealt with this issue as I don't really game on linux often, but I'm sure there's a solution somewhere in the github docs or issues. Worst case scenario you could always just kill the process with killall picom whenever you're about to game, and re-enable it with picom -b after. Do note though that currently running windows might bug out a bit when you kill/start the compositor.
