Backlight control bypassing Gnome on Guix?

Trying to run light without sudo permission
Tip: brightnessctl is a program that does the same thing and doesn't need udev rules.

Can't adjust brightness in Manjaro gnome
try brightnessctl (present in official repos)

[Lenovo Legion Slim 7] created a GUI for a rudimentary brightness controller since full brightness support isn't available. Only uses xrandr so not quite optimal but I'd been changing brightness through the terminal and figured this would be convenient for myself and others maybe
I think I used this one, seemed to work for me
-
Cron cannot change brightness
The problem was with udev rules. It was not there for some reason
-
Brightness shortcut in Artix
brightnessctl should be used without root permisions. Check how you can do it th the README: https://github.com/Hummer12007/brightnessctl. Depending on how you installed the package the udev rules could be already installed but you also need your user in the video group.

Clean mount lists in Linux
Also `dua`[0] is a great `du` replacement which is must faster on modern NVMe drives. Also has an interactive mode `dua i` which I'd frame as a `ncdu` replacement.

Erdtree v1.4.1 - the love child of `tree` and `du`, now with support for a configuration file to override defaults and more
Yeah erdtree won't scratch that itch if you prefer interactive apps. I personally wanted something to just give me quick visual info without spawning an entire terminal UI and learning its quirks. But if you're an ncdu person and are in the mood for a modern alternative I'd recommend checking out Dua

erdtree v1.2.0, a modern multi-threaded alternative to `du` and `tree` now with support for globbing, icons, and more
Thank you! And totally understandable. erdtree won't scratch that itch for folks who have a penchant for interactive terminal apps. As I mentioned in another thread I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the original tree program so I wanted to keep the spirit of the thing. If you want a more modern version of ncdu perhaps you might like dua!

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Another one I used for years until I found dua-cli. It can be run as a TUI with dua -i for a ncdu like interface.

Command Line file managers that show other drives/locations?
