What are your must-have extensions?
https://github.com/daitj/gnome-display-brightness-ddcutil – I have 3 external monitors and sometimes prefer to work quite late, so the ability to reduce the brightness of all my displays with a single slider is very cool

External monitor brightness not working
I tried a extension for Gnome but it didn't work
- GNOME 43: I don't see the screen brightness slider
- My Fanless OpenBSD Desktop

Question
Does your monitor support ddc? If yes, then you can use ddcutil, or the extension here: https://github.com/daitj/gnome-display-brightness-ddcutil

- I built a widget to adjust the brightness of external monitors

Wayland brightness.
There is an out-of-tree kernel module that exposes the DDC-CI interface as a regular brightness control, so any laptop-oriented brightness control tool will work afterwards.
-
External monitor brightness not working
Those tools use the kernel backlight system, which doesn't support external monitors out of the box. It's the same with Xorg. You can get the ddcci-backlight driver: https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux/
-
GNOME 43: I don't see the screen brightness slider
To add to this: if you install ddcci-driver-linux GNOME should be able to control your brightness again. This removes the need for any extensions, and it's what I've been using for my monitor for the last few years.

Linux's Display Brightness/Backlight Interface Is Finally Being Overhauled
There is an out of tree kernel module doing just that (integrating ddc/ci, the control channel for external monitor*, with the backlight system). And someone is working on upstreaming it
-
Currently trying to switch from Windows to Linux and struggling hard. Should I stick with it?
This is kinda a self promotion but for the brightness issue https://gitlab.com/ddcci-driver-linux/ddcci-driver-linux may fix it. Or https://gitlab.com/YusufKhanAbdulHalim/ddcci-driver-linux/-/tree/master may fix it(if the first one doesnt work use the second one).
- Can't install ddcci-dkms apt package (external monitor brightness integration)
-
The journey to controlling external monitors on M1 Macs
There is an unofficial Linux kernel module that allows userspace control of brightness (in a similar way to how laptop brightness is controllable):
