I recently switched from Windows 10 to Linux and I'm trying to find a way to adjust the brightness and contrast on my desktop. In Windows, I could easily do this through the NVIDIA control panel, but now I'm struggling to find similar options. I really need some help here, as the screen brightness is hurting my eyes. I'm not planning to upgrade to Windows 11 or buy a new machine, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried adjusting the brightness directly on your monitor with its built-in buttons? It can be a bit annoying, but it’s an option if you can't find anything in the software.
Glad to hear you got it sorted! I recently installed a brightness and gamma applet myself after switching to Linux. Coming from Windows, it can feel a bit overwhelming, but I think you'll find it's worth it to avoid another expensive Windows upgrade and all the issues it brings. Welcome to the Linux community!
First off, we really need to know which Linux distribution you're using because that can affect how you control brightness. I personally use an app called brightnessctl, which lets you adjust screen brightness via commands and you can even set keybindings for fine-tuning it incrementally. If your distro has a popular desktop environment like KDE Plasma or GNOME, look for built-in brightness control options—you might have them available already!
