Yeah, I didn't bother with the proper names for these. I needed something to make my display color warmer, control brightness, a proper lock / login screen, sanely configurable task bar.

These exist, but while they are first class citizens on AUR (which is really just building from source), they are mostly absent from the ubuntu repos. You wind up chasing down and compiling nine different dependencies for a fecking backlighting program before realizing you just don't care anymore and you happily switch back to i3wm on xorg and move on with your life.
