[SOLVED] Screen Brightness

Desktop Environments Budgie
1

As I am trying out Budgie, and needed to adjust my screen brightness via keyboard, but found that it ignored my keybindings from Cinnamon, I researched the issue and found the following works for me:
Open the Gnome settings app, go to keyboard shortcuts, then + to add one, call it Brightness up, and add the following command:

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Power --method org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen.StepUp

Then give it the custom keyboard shortcut.
For Brightness down do:

gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power --object-path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Power --method org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen.StepDown

For some reason I have yet to figure out, Arm and Gnome 3.38 do not play nice at all. So I tried my backup Cinnamon. It also is afflicted. I have honestly tried to like KDE and QT several times in the past, and it just didn’t work.

So I am now left with Xfce, Mate, and Budgie. I may end up asking for assistance on your Budgie setup.
