Note: In this patcher, Brightness Control is tied to GPU acceleration
Note 2: For setups that require AppleHDA patching, we highly advise users instead opt of a USB Audio adapter to avoid root patching. This ensures that [DELTA](./TERMS.md) updates, FileVault, SIP and other security features can stay in-tact
