    Please do this with the Nvidia chips too! Running Linux on this old Macbook pro is great but I can’t turn the brightness down with the generic driver.

      Part of why it happened for Apple’s chips is that there weren’t any Linux-compatible GPU drivers. It’s easier to justify investing lots of time and effort into something like this if it makes hardware start working than if all it does is mean you’re not using a proprietary driver and in the medium term likely have worse performance.
