How do I make my display grayscale? - alredy tried this tutorial, but the folder name doesn't allow "/" in it.

I've tried doing it through Imagemagick, but couldn't properly install it.

Newbie on Linux. Thanks.

First, install git:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git

Next, run the following commands to create the proper folder directory:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

It may state that the directory already exists. You can ignore this error.

Then, run the following command to download the extension:

git clone https://github.com/laerne/desaturate_all.git

Finally, run the following command to move the files to the proper directory:

mv desaturate_all ".local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desaturate_all@nicolas.brack.mail.be"

Now, you will need to restart Gnome. Press ALT+F2 and then press R and then press ENTER.

You can enable the extension by browsing to https://extensions.gnome.org/local

There is a GNOME Extension for this. You can install this extension with one click form Desaturate All GNOME Extention by laerne. When you install extension, a picture icon appear on the taskbar. When you click, all desktop went to greyscale.
