From my experience. Everything works fine if you switch to NVidia only in your windows system. Just make sure you have blocklisted nouveau and installed the nvidia module
When you say "switch to Nvidia only", how do you do this in Windows? Do you mean Fn + F7? If yes, I get a message saying "This is not compatible for the GSYNC LCD panel."
Also, nouveau is blacklisted, and nvidia is installed. Yet, I can't seem to be able to change the screen brightness.
Just happened across this and thought I'd let you know that I installed CentOS 7, dual boot with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled. Using Nouveau, screen brightness functions through Gnome interface, though I have not mapped any of the function keys yet, nor tried KDE.
Can you try the NVIDIA drivers instead of the Nouveau driver, and let us know if your brightness is still controllable? With the latest drivers on Arch, it doesn't work for me. I have no experience with CentOS.
What I learned from Dell last month is that on this system, the Intel graphics card is never used, and the Fxn+F7 key is therefore disabled (it beats me why the F7 key is there in the first place, but that is a different debate). This is a feature of GSYNC-enabled systems.
