[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

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.

Looking for the name of this application - taken from Kali homepage
As other users have said, the one on the screenshot is gotop, which was archived close to 3 years ago. I would personally recommend bashtop, which is similar function, it is still developed and it's built in shell and a bit of Python. ofc, this is just my opinion. Hope you find a good system monitor
