I was able to compile kscreen-doctor, changing the minimum value from 100 to 1, and it works just fine. Can this artificial limitation be removed from both the GUI and kscreen-doctor?
Specifically, the value of `sdr-brightness`, if that was unclear.
Not sure if it's possible to make that value a floating point, but that would be much preferred for nighttime use. Could lock any value below 1 behind a CLI to limit use to advanced users.
Sorry, this is not what that setting is for. If you want the screen to go darker, use the brightness slider.
It seems like the GUI lets you go down to 50 nits, while kscreen-doctor only lets you go to 100 nits. It seems like they should both be able to go to 50 nits. Also if you don't mind me asking here, is there any color difference between using a low SDR brightness with 100% screen brightness, and a higher SDR brightness with a lower display brightness?

There is no difference.
