My googling also suggests that it might be low frequency flickering and PWM/dithering. Turning on night light/redshift does not help. Turning on dark mode doesn't help either.

For the PWM thing, I tried the solution at https://superuser.com/a/707852/1261816 but that only made my screen go dark and removed ability to change brightness while not helping with eyestrain. I think that solution works for some specific older GPUs only.

I also tried solution at https://ledstrain.org/d/785-eyestrain-when-switching-from-windows-to-linux/24 for PWM on my screen but I think that is outdated too as xrandr didn't seem to recognise the option.
