[AMD] LTS 22.04, My brightness control is not working, help!

Can't adjust brightness in Manjaro gnome

Am I tripping or is pop_os causing me a lot of eye pain after switching from windows?
What I did, was switch back to light mode everywhere (boy it was hard at first), turn brightness of the monitor all the way down and also dimming and warming the colors a bit with Brightness controller. The desired effect is actually something called sepia (mode that should imho be implemented along side light and dark modes). Basically dim yellowish background with nice and crispy black or dark gray font.

Something like gammy for F36 with Wayland?
Been using this https://github.com/Fushko/gammy/releases on F35. Now that Fedora defaults to Wayland on Nvidia cards i can't use it anymore (I could if i went back to X11 i suppose). I have tried https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma but it doesn't seem to work on fedora, even when compiling it myself. Anyone got a similar software that does work? I hate getting flashbanged when opening a website with a white background at 23:00.

Need help with auto brightness
you can use a program that has auto-brightness option to achieve this, i use gammy for example, just uncheck the auto color temperature option because that is for night mode (reduces blue light in night).

DE, on behalf of everyone with a set of working eyeballs, please tone down the exposure and lighting in this damn game.
Every time i try to adjust either the light colors turn too bright or dark areas too dark and i found a solution in software called Gammy that auto adjusts brightness based on the content on your screen.
