Phoronix: Linux Mint Working On Night Light For Cinnamon, Collaborating With Framework Computer

The Linux Mint crew is out with their newest monthly status update that outlines the activities of this desktop Linux distribution over the course of October...

Isn't all hardware support just drivers, which are in the kernel? I'm wondering what Linux Mint would need to do to "achieve full compatibility" besides update the kernel.

Nah forget software filters for Night Light; just buy some blue light-blocking glasses and get it everywhere without a perf hit

The High Blokz option on Zenni Optical is the real-deal! I didn't think anything of blue light and just thought I tolerated it well all these years, but then I put these glasses on. I'm pretty sure I'll be having blue light blocking as a req on my prescription for now on as blue light is surprisingly harsh, and everywhere!

im using qredshift for the night light, but having it native would be better
also great to see framework work with best DE

This was already native in GNOME's Mutter and since Muffin is just a worse fork of GNOME's Mutter with less features and worse performance I guess it's no surprise that it's taken them until now to add it.

LOL!
They are really moving very slow.
If only now Linux Mint managed to have that, I guess it will have HDR too in 2050.
Now I know that I should avoid for buying and recommending Frameworks laptops as it seems that the company behind them likes to waste time and other resources for an organization doing bad decisions!

Linux Mint could've easily already had such a feature if they supported KDE Plasma and / or Gnome!
That way no time and resources from them or the Framework company would've been wasted.
I don't even want to waste my time to imagine how much time and resources will the Linux Mint team and probably other idiots will waste to reinvent the wheel (features) that already exist in KDE Plasma and Gnome.
No wonder that Linux Mint has more donations monthly than any other distro I know, but at the same time all those money are wasted!
Poor donors thinking that they are able to improve anything in a distro with such a bad leadership...

It's not really a waste for Framework to send out some laptops. This is basically free marketing for them.

I too wish Mint would bring back their KDE edition though. This would also be a waste of resources though even though there's an opportunity to make something better than Kubuntu.

What they should really do is work to get the delta between Muffin and Mutter down and stop maintenance of such a pointless fork. Also invest in infrastructure, get a Gitlab like KDE and GNOME have and setup CI pipelines for everything so you can have more confidence over your code.

That's a lot of words to say you probably weren't interested in Framework laptops to begin with

Now if they're really sending out laptops, I'd love one and I'm sure I'd find anything and everything to tweak with it!

I am interested in them, if they will ever come with a HDR-capable screen or at least a 4K one with a high refresh rate.
What I'm not interested is to use them with really obsolete software like Linux Mint and its desktop environments!
As a movie watcher and gamer and obsessed about quality, Linux Mint would be absolutely the worst choice for me!
If the Framework company wants to make sure that their laptops work best with Linux Mint, then this is not a vendor that I can trust or that it cares about me.
My needs are not just the basic browse the web and read emails.
