From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it'd be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That's why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just ~~chroma~~ hue shifted all colors making it look like this:

how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me

Not colorblind here but that looks more like a colorblindness simulator than anything else.
