Problem: Can't lower / raise volume and brightness
Solution: get xbindkeys for volume and then get xbacklight for brightness, then finally add your user to the video group
Problem: can't read hard disk or any ntfs device.
Solution: Get ntfs-3g
Problem: no nm-applet
Solution: use nmcli d w
to list devices
then nmcli d w connect SSID password
Problem: display volume in dwmblocks status bar.
Solution: this is the command for it on pulseaudio
pactl list sinks | grep '^[[:space:]]Volume:' | \
head -n $(( $SINK + 1 )) | tail -n 1 | sed -e 's,.* \([0-9][0-9]*\)%.*,\1,'
This uses multiple sinks and chooses only one of them. I got it from askubuntu or something

I got 99 linux problems, but drivers ain't one lol.
Lol. Do you wanna add yours?
Mainly kidding lol, but that's the beauty of linux you gotta get your hands dirty and fix issues yourself sometimes. I don't have much problem these days I'm on Kubuntu btw.
