That won’t work because it uses dkms. A less invasive approach is to layer ddcutil and use this extension:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2645/brightness-control-using-ddcutil/

To automatically dim at night, you could use the Night Theme Switcher extension and configure custom commands that call ddcutil.

thanks gonna look into this, do you think that “night theme switch” could work something like flux ?

It’s compatible with GNOME’s built-in night light feature. There’s no way to disable the core functionality of changing between light and dark mode though, so if you don’t want that, it won’t help you.
