When did Right Click -> Set as Wallpaper -> Desktop involve writing code?
Yes, older versions of Linux may have had that setting buried in a config file somewhere, which required editing in a text editor. And that sort of UI was shit, is shit and will always be shit. But, if we’re going to bring up old versions of an OS, let’s talk about Windows Me.
To be honest, I’d have no idea how to change screen brightness in Windows at all.
I either do it with function keys on the keyboard (on a laptop), or the monitor itself (on a desktop).
Well, it’s also worked in Plasma on every PC I used so far.
So this isn’t a case of “You need the console for everything in Linux” but rather “Something doesn’t work on your system”.
Which can happen on any OS.

That’s the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.
To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows… you just need to update to the last version.
No you don’t. OP just chose a bad example.
It’s not been that long since I last used Linux, but when I did, I had to type a command in the terminal to change screen brightness (kubuntu)
Was the command [Fn]+[F6]?
If only it were that simple.

It’s in screen settings. But you can also use the keyboard keys and it works.
