Linux Kernel 7.0 Prepares to Support Microsoft's 'Turn On Display' ACPI DSM
The forthcoming Linux 7.0 kernel is being prepared to integrate support for Microsoft's "Turn On Display" ACPI Device Specific Method (DSM). This notification method was initially introduced by Microsoft in Windows 11 22H2 to manage display states.
