If this is the only thing keeping you out of linux, sure you are lucky
because plenty workarounds exist.

For example, try installing smartdimmer:

For KDE, I use the two following scripts and I assigned Win+F5 to
execute brightdown.sh while Win+F6 executes brightup.sh.

brightup.sh:
------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
LEVEL=`smartdimmer -i -g`
kdialog --passivepopup "$LEVEL" 1
--------------------------------------------------

brightdown.sh
---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
LEVEL=`smartdimmer -d -g`
kdialog --passivepopup "$LEVEL" 1
----------------------------------------------------

Also, you can set brightness in the System Settings in KDE or using the
Nvidia Settings application.
