The brightness and gamma applet was a nice workaround for a while but stopped working last week, it increases gamma levels to 100% but doesn’t disable the night light anymore; the gnome extension caffeine sounded perfect but after installing I cant open settings/config/manual, there’s just a tray icon that doesn’t seem to do anything.
any ideas?
I think it’s an included feature, with a little tray icon to turn it on and off easily. just search “night” in the LM search bar.
Night Light disables blue light according to a schedule or automatically according to your time zone.
I haven’t checked the manual, how do I check the package name? nightlight@cinnamon.org, is that ut?
Uhh, is this the project page?
If so, 404 error, apparently the project has been removed or abandoned/discontinued or something 🤷♂️
nope, not that. thanks though.
I’m still not familiar with this extension, but I’ll see what I can find…
I do find this part mildly concerning, as it entangles a browser extension with a desktop extension…
I’d look more into it, but my current daily runner is recently a different breed of Linux over the past 3 weeks, Termux+XFCE
I came across those and also found the two part extension installation kind of weird, and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to work correctly anyway.
I think at this point I’ve looked up every solution available via DDG, haha.
if you don’t use the standard night light in Linux Mint at all, you might want to look into it, it’s super convenient late at night and relaxing on the eyes.
