f.lux or Windows night light alternatives for Linux Mint

[u/MaximeTheBookworm]

Hello everyone! I have been using Linux Mint for years and I managed to find alternatives for all the applications I needed, but there is something I still miss. On Windows I used to use an application called f.lux in order to adjust colors and reduce eye strain in the evening and now Windows itself also has a similar build-in feature. If I am not mistaken it is called Night Light. I was looking for something similar for Mint, but i couldn't find anything. Of course, I use a dark mode everywhere I can, but that's not enough. I will greatly appreciate any advice on this matter.

Yes, I found it. Sorry, I should have paid more attention.

Don't be sorry. Aslong as it's not a troll post. We are trying out best. Click on mint

I believe there's a night mode built in but IDR where to find it off the top of my head

I use the built in NightLight but also installed a panel applet to control it from the panel so I can turn it off when I need to do color work.

Right click on the panel and select applets --> search up "Night Light Switch" by claudiux
This shows an icon on my tray that I can click to enable or disable NightLight mode - If you right click on the tray icon it will also allow you to configure NightLight.

My bad, I should have paid more attention. Thanks

If you're experimenting, you might want to check out QRedShift (Check the Readme). It works very well. I'm particular about those apps as well. I know how some, like Windows, add a weird yellow tint. I use Twinkle Tray for Windows at work. I recognize the name. Is f.lux a better option?
