screen_brightness [q] Can Linux also be supported?

Hi @aaassseee, first of all thank you for your contribution!

I wanted to ask as the title suggests, if it is possible to add compatibility for Linux as well.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Hi @0Franky. This will be done. However it is hard to develop and test due to there are so many Linux OS.

Hi @0Franky, I have been created a branch linux_support and finish with draft code. Due to lacking of physical system with linux install as main system. Would you like to give it a test? I am pretty sure code does not work with vm linux machine.

Hi @aaassseee, sorry for the late reply.

I just tried the Linux feature on Ubuntu (currently xorg, I'll try it also on Wayland). it fails.

when opened the window I selected the first button and I was trying to change the brightness, but the app crashed (it gave me an error about a pointer -> 0) unfortunately after this crash I can't start again the app. this afternoon I'll check how to start again it.

I'll try it also on arch soon.

What version of Linux did you test on?

@0Franky, I didn't have another disk or space to install a sub-system with linux, so I didn't test it. Would you like to share the full crash log. I may need you to help with completing linux support.
