You can have it set more intelligently than on/off.
For example, what I have (I’m excessive btw, so this is just one option) is a light sensor that tells me how light it is outside, and then combine that information with sunrise/sunset times.
I use that to set the color of the lighting (circadian lighting style), the light level, and a ramp time to the max brightness I’d want. For rooms where there is good daylight coming in, if the light coming in from daylight is bright enough, the lights lower their brightness (daylight harvesting approach).
This isn’t in every room at the moment, as some of my lights are not RGBW LEDs. Those with regular white LEDs just dim.
Is it perfectly set for your eyes? No, but you can tweak it. My wife likes it bright than me, so I set values that I could tolerate for a nice compromise.
No RGB? Then drop the circadian lighting, keep the rest.
No light sensors? There are some APIs available out there for solar radiation values you can use (openweathermap for example). Less accurate, but probably close enough for what you want.
TL;DR version: add more conditions, and get what you want.
Ubuntu’s popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I’ve highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.
Linux Mint Debian Edition is my standard recommendation for desktop for those newer folks.
Straight up Debian for everything else. Debian is my desktop. And all of my servers (aside from some things I’m testing for work or something where I need to test against RHEL or something).

My media server also handles family movies, including VHS from the 80s I’ve converted and cleaned up.
Server itself is a cheap off lease dell micro I bought several years back for $125, added a $50 nvme SSD, and the igpu has been chugging along transcoding beautifully since.
Same system also runs a separate book/comic/etc service, backup DNS, a generated kid safe “channel” that is available on the media server, all my dslr photos are on there, etc, etc.
Which then for what is crucial to me gets a local and a remote backup.
At this point I’ve saved money over paying for subscriptions, and I use it for a whole lot more (so even more savings on top).
Just wanted to add onto your comment for clarity for others, the multiple servers are not redundancy so much as first come first serve, which is why your comment of multiple pi-holes is important.
If you were to list a pihole and say Google DNS as primary and secondary respectively, you may have some DNS queries responded to by Google. Negating the point of having a pi-hole or similar DNS service locally.
A secondary can be a docker container, another physical pi-hole (even a zero-w, which I personally don’t recommend being your only way to manage DNS, but is fine when you just need to do some maintenance on the primary).
