Comments about f.lux as an Alternative to Dimmer
f.lux gives a warmer tint to the screen, dimmer makes the screen darker.
f.lux can change the brightness using Alt + Pg Up or Down, but it's not permanently saved after every reboot.
Only changes color not brightness, also self adjusts, cant be used in daylight hours.
