Why can't windows and macos adjust monitor brightness natively via dDC?
Why do they not allow doing the same for external monitors using DDC? There are several apps that do just that.

How can I turn my main monitor off? Already have a dummy plug.
Try ddccontrol on Linux or https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html on Windows.

Making the "xrandr --setmonitor" setting permanent
If I were you, I would take a look at ddccontrol. It's a utility that allows you to query the state and send commands to your monitor via the command line. I currently use it to increase / decrease the brightness of my monitor depending on the time of day.

Automatic Desktop Monitor Brightness Adjustment
Before I look into automating it, I wanted to get it working first. For this, I have a tool called ddccontrol (https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol). But this needs root privileges. So I'm just wondering if there are other ways, since I couldn't find any.

Whats the status of DDC/CI support with Powerdevil?
It's not the answer to your question, but you can use: Brightness Control: https://store.kde.org/p/2015475 or ddcui: https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcui for now.

I built a widget to adjust the brightness of external monitors
This widget uses ddcutil (https://www.ddcutil.com/) under the hood. You can just use its command line interface or build a GUI wrapper around this, which is exactly what I did here. There are also GUI applications like https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcui available, though they lack DE integration of course.

Linux (Debian) equivalent of DimScreen on Windows or MonitorControl on MacOS?
There's also a GUI for ddcutil called ddcui if you happen to need that. There might be more unofficial ones out there, just search for "ddcutil GUI".

is there any easy (GUI) way to control the resolution and the screen light on i3wm
You can use https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcui instead of having to fiddle with buttons on your monitor

Monitorian (Windows Brig
On Linux there are ddcui and gddccontrol (from ddccontrol), although they probably aren't as polished as the options for Windows/macOS. There is also the non-mainline ddcci driver, which lets Linux systems manage external monitor brightness just like it would internal screens on laptops.
