Brightness
Using Brightness Controller, you can control brightness of both primary and external displays in Linux. Check it out! (by LordAmit)
redshift
Redshift adjusts the color temperature of your screen according to your surroundings. This may help your eyes hurt less if you are working in front of the screen at night. (by jonls)

[AMD] LTS 22.04, My brightness control is not working, help!
But somehow the 'brightness-controller' application is working after install and changes hardware brightess smoothly. At the same time when installing 'brightnessctl' or 'light', it doesn't work.
- Do any of you use an app/utility to dim your screen(s) through software?

Desktop screen brightness?
There are standalone brightness controllers like this one, for example.

[HELP] I can't change brightness after updating my packages my PC is old from 2015 And have Intel HD 3000 graphic card on it I tried xbacklight it used work before
https://github.com/LordAmit/Brightness After installation I can easily change brightness but still can't change brightness from kde or xfce power management Hope that help for anyone have same problem as me

Brightness Control ceased working
I use this. It allows me to change brightness clicking the icon in the xfce panel

https://github.com/lordamit/Brightness works fine for me.

Can't adjust brightness in Manjaro gnome
I installed Brightness controller and Gammy both of them are not working in Manjaro gnome but worked fine in Pop OS.

Am I tripping or is pop_os causing me a lot of eye pain after switching from windows?
What I did, was switch back to light mode everywhere (boy it was hard at first), turn brightness of the monitor all the way down and also dimming and warming the colors a bit with Brightness controller. The desired effect is actually something called sepia (mode that should imho be implemented along side light and dark modes). Basically dim yellowish background with nice and crispy black or dark gray font.

FWIW, Linux Mint XFCE comes with Redshift.

If you use your PC for long hours, use Eye Saver app to protect your eyes.
Other options include f.lux and redshift.

How do you build circuits?
eg for this project my available inputs were intermittent 12v power, bluetooth, and the current time and location; and the desired output was 3× high current low-side switches that produced 12v RGB PWM corresponding to the colour temperature and brightness of the sky - so we need a bluetooth microcontroller, battery backup to keep time when 12v is absent, some battery management which wanted 5v in, a 12v buck to feed it, some MOSFETs, and redshift or similar code to plug into things.

How can I use an Arduino board to control LEDs so it imitates the sunlight color temperature throughout the day?
I just added redshift as a submodule to handle the GPS location + UTC time to color temperature conversion.

what's the alternative for linux like F.lux for windows for yellow light and brightness for screen?
But I still use redshift and prefer it over f.lux. I am on cell and this is first result so double check https://github.com/jonls/redshift

Linux (Debian) equivalent of DimScreen on Windows or MonitorControl on MacOS?
Anyway, for dimming screens with overlays (or gamma alteration), Redshift seems to have a -b option.

How do you even install redshit on windows ? (screen temp program)
The instructions are super confusing to me. Here's the github :https://github.com/jonls/redshift
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Brightness and redshift you can also consider the following projects:
NodeGraphQt - Node graph framework that can be re-implemented into applications that supports PySide2
gammastep
light - GNU/Linux application to control backlights
go-sct - A color temperature setting library and CLI that operates in a similar way to f.lux and Redshift. Supports Wayland, X and Windows
KoHighlights - KOHighlights is a utility for viewing KOReader's highlights and/or export them to simple text, html, csv or markdown files.
xrandr-brightness-script - 🔆 Script for adjusting the brightness and color temperature of displays on a software level using xrandr.
qtpy - Provides an uniform layer to support PyQt5, PySide2, PyQt6, PySide6 with a single codebase
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
portmaster-packaging - Portmaster packages and installers
LightBulb - Reduces eye strain by adjusting gamma based on the current time
gammy - Adaptive screen brightness/temperature for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD
picom - A lightweight compositor for X11
