I have one problem with linux mint and my conputer ACER v3, I can't control brightness, why?
It is mostly caused by GRUB bootloader. Running following commands might help.
sudo sed "s/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\)\"\"/\1\"acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor\"/" /etc/default/grub -i
sudo update-grub
sudo reboot
