XFCE is one of the most lightweight desktop environment among other Linux desktops, resource-friendly suitable for old PC/Computers. XFCE removed most of the non-essential elements such as glossy desktop design, animations, etc in terms of making it more resource-friendly. But the problem is, in the process of doing that sometimes they also removed some essential components, and one of the such components is brightness controller.
If you are also not able to adjust your screen brightness due to this missing component follow these steps below to fix it.
1| Open your terminal and execute the following command...
sudo apt-get install xfce4-power-manager-plugins
