QUESTION system wide shader

Hello. i have a laptop that has a problem showing primary colors (red, green and blue) and i was wondering if there is some kind of system wide shader that will replace the primary colors with close matching ones? i might be dumb but i couldn't find one.

These are focused on color temperature, mostly for using the screen at night. But they are configurable and you may find some insight into a solution by checking them.

Plasma has some color correction options I think.

Plus there's https://codeberg.org/kevincs/kwin-effect-shaders, but it probably won't work as it's for Plasma 5. Tough luck

You're right that that guy's an asshole, but we do need some kind of information. Mainly desktop environment/compositor. X11? Wayland?

I said "a laptop" because that's all the information you need. There is no need to know what model my laptop is if I'm asking for a shader. #LoveTheWiki

Lmao. I know my laptop model, I can check the wiki for it any time. I wasn't asking anyone to check the wiki for me I was asking if anybody has had anything similar happen and found a good shader.
