Darken screen past 0 (linux/fedora)
Hey, guys. I have a killer migrane. I've messed around with my physical monitor settings and the darkness/contrast is set to the lowest that they can on my monitor.
Are there any commands or programs I could use to get the screen to darken further? It's still too bright.

Yeah... thanks - there was a program called Dimmer that worked great! I might be able to only use it when watching videos or something.
It's a Windows-only program and I can't get it to work correctly on this OS. It will work great on a window that I don't have to click on or interact with, though, since (with it's limited usability, being patched together via Wine) it works by putting an un-interactable overlay over the screen that dims past the 0%....

If it matters, the distro I'm using is Nobara. (I don't use Arch, btw.)
Alright. I tried BrightnessCTL and the program loaded fine. The problem is, I don't think it dims the screen past 0%. I'd like a solution that dims the screen further than 0% if possible.
you could always turn off the screen
it might be going beyond what your monitor can do
i am so glad i don't deal with migraines, im sorry for what you're going through
