This has turned out to be more tedious than I thought. I did the usual looking up tools to use, and found they use ddci, like ddcutil and ddccontrol, but they’re very slow. Before setting them up, KDE’s brightness slider did software brightness, now it does hardware brightness but now takes a whole moment with each brightness, I can’t smoothly slide it back and forth like I can on laptops. I have a Dell G3233Q connected via USB For USB ports and DisplayPort.

    It does? I use it on KDE Wayland

    Extra checked the name of the thing

    I use it to change brightness via KDE Connect.

      Huh. I should check again

      It doesn’t work for me on SwayWM, maybe KDE does something else under the hood?

      Edit: lol Sorry, I mistook xrandr for brightnessctl. (I had aliased xrandr brightness change commands to “brightness” in my shell)
