is there a website where you can like, commission people to write software for linux?
You could probably find someone lurking around the Fediverse that would code for cash.
@Awoo @applejack literally the only thing keeping me from using linux wholesale at this point is that there is absolutely horrible colorblind support.
the programs that do provide filters are either laggy as hell, super unwieldy to use (like needing to have a second monitor just to see what the first one looks like with the filter), or actually simulate colorblindness.
i don't necessarily have the money to commission a whole ass program that would drop a filter over your screen right now but it is something i'd eventually like to see happen.
the only package it seems was relatively good for colorblindness is gnome-mag but it's loooong been abandoned and doesn't work anymore, plus i have no idea if it technically actually worked or not.
just using monitor or GPU color correct isn't a very elegant solution either, because doing that shifts colors in total rather than just taking specific color ranges and either amplifying or desaturating them. if i try and boost reds, for instance, i end up with grays becoming slightly red too which windows' filter doesn't do. if it does it is way too minor of a difference to notice. maybe they're doing some black magic or something but Android and iOS colorblind settings do the same thing too, just in reverse (they simulate it instead).
@beardalaxy @Awoo Programs like redshift work on Xorg and can filter the colour, idk about Wayland
I also think programs like Picom allow OpenGL shaders and can be made to work per-window
I know how to program GLSL and can look into it, though idrk what a colour blindness shader does
@beardalaxy @Awoo Basically this, it's fairly simple. Just a formula run over each pixel
@beardalaxy @Awoo Looking up "colour blindness filter" I only find colour blindness simulating filters
How do I find them?
@applejack lol ain't that the problem xD
most colorblind filters simulate it even if they're saying they help it. for instance, the majority of video games.
someone took screenshots of path of exile with all the colorblind filters for windows 10, but it doesn't exactly have the greatest array of colors to show off. i'd try and take some myself but i honestly don't know how this person got these screenshots; taking them in windows gets rid of the filter for me.
in order: normal, deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia.
@applejack i think the best way for me to capture it would be with a capture card so i could just get the hdmi signal but my capture card no longer works lol. maybe OBS will work with a desktop capture, i'll try it out.
