(Laptop only) Install

sudo pacman -S brightnessctl

On hyprland, the multimedia keys for lowering and raising the screen brightness should work out of the box.

We can set the brightness in the command line. For example

brightnessctl info
brightnessctl set 75%
brightnessctl set 10%-
brightnessctl set +10%
