SO I’m pretty noob at this stuff still, maybe this is a lot to ask, maybe its simple and i just haven’t been looking in the right places, but!:
I want to change my Powerplan to do the dimming of the screen and nothing else.
I however would like the change the amount of time after which it does this to exceed the GUI or maybe application allotted maximum 120 seconds.
I am of the opinion that dimming the screen after a while is the most impactful change to a pc or any device’s energy footprint but also reduce it standing out.
IF im wrong on that i would say that maybe if the context is where you get to keep most of the functionality, application stability, least likelyhood of user error (maybe not but i think so).
I would set it to be less likely during the day since its so bright out. more likely evening times with a prompt to keep it off past sundown.
Also, a widget and hotkey to switch to that dark mode at all times.
TL;DR
How do I increase the screen brightness reduction timer in manjaro beyond the allotted 120 seconds in the GUI?
I saw this setting and saw a solution to my problems, theory crafting a vision afterward.
i just put it at 1% and 10 seconds and I can guarantee you that it does not even work. That will be my next pursuit. Then, this ubuntu article looks promising thank you, I may have previously disregarded. I will see when and how it works to update on this solution.

For now I’m keeping it at turning it down for the night with the github tool listed below.
Also took some blue out of the color cuz sometimes that’s nice, it’s pretty cool.
natively it still does not work at all and i would like the automation still aswell, also add my own like in the original post.
