Hi Dylan,
Looks like you have nVidia Optimus device. Linux drivers doesn’t support it or yes partial support, everything else works but not your laptop panel.
Thx a lot, saved my day. After installing FC31 from a KDE live image, which mysteriously installed only GNOME. ;-(
Thank you for your hard work helping linux users!
Nicely explained. Thank you.
