I tried several monitors and hardware to come to conclusion of the Eye strain is not the monitor, but rather modern hardware. For example, I recently build a computer for my dad. If I use his 15 year old computer, I do not have led strain. If use his new Ryzen 5 AM4 computer on the same monitor, I get eye strain within 15-30 minutes. Both had Debian 12.
So either its the hardware, or either its Linux. I will install windows on an old hard drive to see if the issue is linux specific. Thank god, I do not want to use windows.
I tried a lot of things so far like disabling compositing, using software rendering (for cinnamon), using X11 instead of Wayland, Trying various DE, deactivating graphic acceleration in browsers. I am probably forgetting many steps I tried as I am struggling for months on this issue. None of those solutions worked.
Some say it could be related to dithering, but that depends on the monitor you have. I have eye strain with old and modern monitors. So its really the hardware.
So for now, I need tools, drivers or any insight that can help me configure the AMD APU. This would allow making some test to see if I can remove the eye strain.
Else I am considering recompiling the kernel if there are some options or modifications than can be made to how graphics are handled by the kernel. Not sure if it could help. I never recompiled the kernel before, but solving this issue could be worth the effort.
Thank you
