Do want logarithmic. 

The author is correct. Linear changes does not work well with laptops with high
brightness display (linked below), since the eye is sensitive to changes in low
light environments but not high lights environment. 

So for an example, the 1400 nits display in the link below, a 10% change in
brightness would be a 140 nits change. To illustrate this, it means 280 nits at
only 20% brightness, which is almost equal to the maximum brightness of a
normal consumer/business laptop (350 nits).

The issue is that it becomes difficult to find a comfortable setting working in
a low light environment, or if you have the laptop mounted in the vehicle (e.g.
law enforcement) and driving in night time, it is easily either too dark or too
bright with a linear setting with these kind of laptops. So it should be
logarithmic.

Thanks. This is indeed an issue.

A field service laptop (for police / military / emergency service /
construction etc.) uses displays with 1000 - 1400 nits. Due to their multiple
times brighter displays compared to ordinary laptops, the lowest jumps (e.g. 5%
to 10%) has tremendous impact on the brightness, often making it impossible to
adjust to a comfortable brightness level for indoor use.

Ordinary business and consumer laptops are also currently increasing their
display brightness, and will therefore face the same issue, making this fix
even more important.

Yes, great news, Eric!  I've been using the patch I posted above since I posted
it, but got bogged down trying to set up a proper KDE build so that I could
submit a complete contribution.  Then I got too busy with other things.

Awesome news Eric! I think this is a very significant feature that laptop users
will appreciate. Can't wait for it to be implemented. Great job.

Oops, probably should have said this, but I started working on it again and am
basically done.
