screen brightness issue

Hi everyone, and thanx in advanced for the help. I just moved form win to Arch and so far everything's looking good

The only problem is that the screen is way to bright, to a point it bothers the eyes.
This issue doesn't appear on Win (nor on previous Arch installation I've tried over the years)

I used nvidia nvidia-utils as drivers, and updated to the last version: Driver Version: 495.46
I did try to change different setting in the Color management integration for GNOME, but doens't work. It gives a different white temperature, but the brightness is still too high

I seek your knowledge and advises
Thank you all

Re: screen brightness issue

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Backlight as a starting point - if you've issues w/ a particular element, make sure to elaborate on the relevant system aspects.
Also see the 3rd link below (because a hibernating windows is going to fuck w/ your ACPI for pretty much sure)
