Can't adjust brightness in Manjaro gnome
I installed Brightness controller and Gammy both of them are not working in Manjaro gnome but worked fine in Pop OS.

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.
