I recently switched from Windows to Linux Mint and I'm really enjoying the change. However, I've noticed that the screen brightness and colors are quite harsh on my eyes. I tried using the "Brightness & Gamma Applet" and it has helped a bit, but it still doesn't quite match the color schemes I'm used to on Windows. I currently have a color ratio set to R:G:B 80:90:80. I'm hoping someone can suggest a color ratio or settings to make my screen more comfortable to look at, similar to what I had on my Windows system. Any tips?

Linux Mint has a built-in Night Light applet which can help you set a color balance schedule. This might make your display a lot more pleasant to look at, especially in low light.
If you're into darker themes, be sure to download one that suits your taste. It can make a big difference in reducing eye strain, especially if you're already using a dark theme!
Check out this resources page on our wiki; it offers various tips and links for adjusting display settings. The color balance is a common issue, so there should be useful information to address your concerns. Also, make sure to back up regularly and test new settings in a VM before going all in!
I’ve been using `redshift` for a while now, and it really helps adjust the screen color temperature according to the time of day. You just need to tweak the settings a bit. It's great for any desktop environment, but if you're on Wayland, just note that `redshift` doesn't work there as it's specifically for Xorg. For Wayland, you might want to check out other desktop tools that can achieve similar results.
