Bug Description

Im using my machine since 20.12.20 and use it in dual boot with windows10 alongside.

Hotkeys and adjusting brightness via GUI both broken, since formatting the machine on day 1.

Before formatting, adjusting brightness was possible in windows10, but not in ubuntu or other linux distro, that I tried out.

There is no bar in the top right corner under the bar for adjusting the sound output.

Because "The description is too long. If you have lots of text to add, attach a file to the bug instead." the description is added as .txt-file.
