- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop
- HEADLINE: optimize Ubuntu for people who suffer migraines/headaches and other health issues when working with displays.
- DESCRIPTION: There's a small niche of users who suffer badly when working with displays. There are all sorts of things to optimize(mostly to kill various flickers and too much brightness) - no backlight refresh by putting backlight at 100% and using some screen filter app , 16-bit resolution(32-bit in some display types is causing some flicker), up-convertion of videos to the highest frame-rate possible(if it's possible to do so for web videos - would be amazing!!!), various night modes and brightness controls, maybe recommending screens and devices that would help(selection is a huge issue).
btw, if you manage to really help here, this user niche will be very loyal, and will suffer a lot on other areas. Also - a well optimized machine, might be liked by regular users in a subtle way(less tired, etc).
- ROLE: desktop user with migraine.
- Posibyte 10y agoI would really like to see this as well. Linux in general is a system I love to use but there's a ton of tedium involved in getting it set up in just the right way that it doesn't make my head throb. This isn't necessarily a setback for me from daily usage, but whenever a new version comes out, it soaks up a lot of time getting it re-setup. +1 This would be a great feature for people like us.
