My personal favorite is powerdevil-ddcutil. It lets you control your desktop monitor brightness in KDE.

Thanks for linking powerdevil-ddcutil, cool to have that integrated into KDE. Looks like that will be enabled with Plasma 6 by default: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78536#comment218014

One of my favorite AUR packages is noise-suppression-for-voice-git. It can be used as a pipewire plugin and can filter noise from sinks and sources, such as a microphone for example. Similar to the popular noisetorch, it's also based on RNNoise. However, noisetorch can't be loaded via a pipewire drop-in config and thus has to be started manually or via a systemd unit, and also performs an update check everytime it's started. Thus noise-suppression-for-voice offers a cleaner solution IMO: https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice#pipewire
