Yes, you need a device, but the procedure is simple. I can lend you my
ColorHug, a display calibrator that runs *only* under Linux. Takes about 20
minutes to do a full calibration per screen. It spits out an ICC profile
that (should) be automatically picked up by your display manager. Picky
types recalibrate frequently. I do it annually, at best.

Most displays come set way too cold, so whites are blue-white out the box.
Your display will look a bit pink for a while until you're used to it, but
you should notice you can see a bunch more brightness levels. If you're
running a dual-monitor setup, make sure you calibrate them both - having
one eye-searing cold blue and the other warmer looks terrible.
