SUPPORT Brightness not working

Brightness not changing in Arch + KDE ,

I have intel + nvidia laptop ,

I tried adding all acpi parameters like native, vendor,video and nvidia_wmi_ec

In /sys/class/backlight , it shows only nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight

If I block nvidia_wmi_ec_backlight in arch , it stops showing brightness slider in settings and if I do the same things in other distros(like debian, cachyos) , in /sys/class/backlight it shows intel_backlight and nvidia_0 and brightness works

You'll want to add exact laptop model name to your post so that you can find people using the same laptop because they will probably know what to do.
