I've used both f.lux and redshift over the years. f.lux worked really well on the mac at work, but I had problems with it on my linux machines. Was using redshift till a few days ago. I recently switched to the "Night Light" that Gnome added as that also works on Wayland (I think f.lux/redshift don't support wayland yet) [1] https://www.gnome.org/news/2017/03/gnome-3-24-released/ https://www.gnome.org/news/2017/03/gnome-3-24-released/

  Actually no program can support Wayland to change color temperatures except for the compositor.
  - NoGravitas 10y ago
    You're right, though the compositor could provide an ipc mechanism to let another program tell it to change color temperatures. Sway (a Wayland compositor/window manager) works with a patched RedShift, and I assume this is how it does it.

      If I understand correctly, they've implemented a new wayland protocol (extension?) https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/blob/master/protocols/gamma-control.xml https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/blob/master/protocols/gamma...

  Is there any chance that Gnome Nightshift will make it into Ubuntu Unity?
  - fmoralesc 10y ago
    Sort of. GNOME's implementation is tied to the compositor (because of restrictions Wayland puts in place), so Unity's would have to either reuse the code in their own compositor, or reimplement it from scratch. I think GNOME implements something that might now become a standard, so chances are that different implementations won't be terribly different.

Recently switched to Linux as my daily driver due to Apple's lack of decent hardware release. RedShift was a lifesaver. For some reason 'vidmode' works better for me than 'xrandr'.

How do you run it? I keep having to kill the daemon then start it up again to get it to kick in.

  I just tossed an `exec redshift-gtk` in my i3 config.

  Which desktop environment are you using? I have used the redshift-gtk package (for gtk based environments) and the KDE redshift plasmoid at various times. Both provide the option to autostart redshift in their GUI. The arch wiki[1] has a good entry about redshift autostart as well. The only other problems I've faced running redshift in the past, were related to geoclue.

Redshift is fantastic. It's much easier to use than f.lux, especially in Linux.
