- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: include f.lux or redshift as a default installed package.

- DESCRIPTION: by including f.lux / redshift , Ubuntu will be helping users to get better sleep . I know it's very difficult to accommodate requests for default apps, but macOS and iOS has Night Shift, Android has Night Mode.

Thanks !



I'm not sure about having it enabled by default, but I would absolutely love for it to be just installed by default, and with solid control panel integration to manage it.


Unfortunately redshift doesn't work with Wayland or Mir.


Gnome's Night Light works great with Wayland.

(This doesn't help on Unity/Mir of course... just an option)


AFAI(Nexus 5x user)K Android removed Night Mode.


They "improved" it. It is now only available on Pixel devices (because it needs a driver support).
