The two people I know who use it have their displays permanently, at all hours of the day for everything they are doing, show a very hard yellow tint like you're looking at the monitor through a glass of beer. Either something is wrong with their eyes to where that looks normal, or they were able to recognize how offputting that looked upon first usage and decided to continue using it to force themselves to get used to it. I have never had a problem falling asleep despite having my displays lean more blue, so I can't identify with why anyone would choose to use that function.

The purpose of reducing blue light isn't to be aesthetically pleasing it's to reduce eye strain and stop your circadian rhythm from getting jacked up. Anyone who has turned off their computers night light function in the middle of the night and recoiled from the blast of full spectrum light after hours of softer orange light knows that it works.

But by all means keep telling people that their physical and mental ailments are totally fake and made up just because you personally don't have them.

HandBrake literally is the VLC of transcoders, since they both use libavcodec. So they should support the same things. By now most stuff uses libavcodec or ffmpeg I find.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
