I am using Arch linux with i3wm and picom as compositor. I would like to be able to use redshift. But when I launch redshift, it turns itself on and off every two seconds, resulting in annoying screen blinking.

What can I do to stop this blinking and use redshift in peace?

    Could be having trouble with your location. Go here - jonls.dk/redshift - and look at the sample config file. Commented Jan 9, 2022 at 22:25

    Maybe two instances of redshift running, that also leads to annoying blinking as they fight. Commented Jan 10, 2022 at 2:09

Solution to my problem was to manually set my longitude and latitude in ~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf:

[manual]
lat=MYLAST
lon=MYLON

another thing to pay attention to is making sure you are running only one instance of redshift.

Thanks to @ajgringo619 and @Simon Richter for their suggestions
