From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi Redshift isn't maintained anymore and lately redshift-gtk doesnt start anymore (something about a python circular dependancy).

What should we use?

Dark colors still emit blue light.

Especially if they're dark (literally midnight) blue, which is what my screen currently looks like!

I'm going with my feelings on this one. To me, an untinted white screen is like a standard LED lamp - it screams "Morning! Time to get up!" (which is why my lamp is covered with orange cellophane). A (heavily) red-tinted white screen feels like sunset. And my dark screen feels like, well, midnight. I sleep like a baby so in my case the problem's solved.
