    Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this?

    I want my laptop display to not dim when the device is inactive. However, when I go into GNOME's settings and uncheck the option under Power Saving my choice is disregarded; the screen still dims. Is it being overridden somewhere?

    Fedora Workstation 41

        You probably have a conflict between your power profiles and gnome settings.

        Do you already have the power profile selector in your gnome panel in the top-right menu? Try switching to balanced or performance and see if it stops.

        If that doesn't help, check this out.

          Idk if it is related but I found that my LCD monitor dims through the GNOME setting, but just not my OLED.

            It looks like you're right - just checked and it only seems to happen when Power Saver is selected in GNOME. Do you know if anything can be done to prevent dimming in this mode?
