Back when I was using Ubuntu, I could install an app called Redshift, which is basically the Linux equivalent for f.lux.

Redshift is great. I have a systemd user unit for it, and I actually prefer it to Flux on OS X.

Setting up (configure/build + daemon) Redshift is bit pain, a built-in would be awesome, similar to the one just launched in GNOME.

Why did you build from source and make your own daemon instead of using the Ubuntu package?

There is f.lux for Ubuntu. Although maybe not for Unity? I use Gnome.

f.lux for Linux is an X11 app, it does not care for Unity or Gnome. You have to manually start it after you log-in, or find out how to make it autostart. Not very user-friendly.

Being X11 app means, it does not work with Wayland.
