You can do it on Linux but you need to buy a device you attach to your monitor. I have a Spyder X Pro but there are others.

It’s like $200 and it’s not worth it unless you do color sensitive work (photo editing, printing or video editing) and you have an expensive monitor or expensive laptop with good color support. Many monitors will fail so badly the calibration won’t be able to fix it.

But if you’ve ever had a lot of trouble trying to get colors to match when printing or between devices, it could be a godsend, although it’s only one of the many reasons colors might not match.

Thank you.

I wonder if photo stores might have the device, and if they would loan it. I'm surprised there is no method of calibration against common objects of known colour, such as Euro bills.

If you use the proper profile for your monitor and set the monitor to a profile that's relatively accurate it should be decent
