Linux GPU Configuration Tool 'LACT' adds NVIDIA support

No longer just for the AMD camp, Linux GPU Configuration Tool 'LACT' has a fresh release out that brings in NVIDIA support.

This free and open source app gives you a fancy readout of various GPU stats, along with giving you control over fan control, power and thermals monitor, overclocking, power states and more. Some feature are specific to certain GPUs and vendors though.

In version 0.6.0 here's the main standout additions:

• Nvidia support! LACT now works with Nvidia GPUs for all of the core functionality (monitoring, clocks configuration, power limits and fan control). It uses the NVML library, so unlike the Nvidia control panel it doesn't rely on X11 extensions and works under Wayland.
• Multiple profiles for configuration. Currently it is not possible to switch them automatically, but they are configurable through the UI or the unix socket.
• Clocks configuration now works on AMD IGPUs (at least RDNA2). Previously it was not parsed properly due to lack of VRAM settings.
• Zero RPM mode settings on RDNA3. Currently this needs a linux-next to be used, and the functionality is expected to land in kernel 6.13. But this resolves a long-standing issue with RDNA3 that made the fan always disabled below a certain temperature, even if using a custom curve.

Plenty more listed in the changelog.

What NVIDIA GPUs does it support? According to the documentation, "Anything Maxwell or newer should work, but generation support has not yet been tested thoroughly".

Nice to see more apps like this for configuring all your hardware on Linux.
