How many brightness steps does your laptop support? Please provide the output of $ qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.Actions.BrightnessControl.brightnessMax Can you add a screen recording showing what it looks like for you? Either way the correct solution would be to fix the flickering, not revert the feature entirely.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I was pretty sure it would not animate for less than a certain amount of steps. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/merge_requests/26 Git commit 6fd6179b63d17548ae2dc144afa96d86cda5957e by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 08/10/2020 at 19:55. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Honor animation brightness threshold also for sysfs helper We should only animate the screen brightness if there are enough steps available to make for a smooth transition. This check was forgotten for the new sysfs brightness animation.
