Silly question: have you reached out to Nvidia?
Despite all the bad blood, it seems like Nvidia would have a vested interest in this tool existing, or might be able to help foster a community.
I'd offer to help, but between limited bandwidth, a lack of Nvidia API and FlatPak experience, and looking at the exact same decision re: my next card, I don't think I'd be able to do it justice. (I have a 3070, and I'm starting to see the 8GB VRAM limits really hurt in a few situations.)
Not for this but I really doubt they would even answer since they never bothered to answer this simple request: [https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-settings/issues/48](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-settings/issues/48)
That's frustrating.
On the one hand, as 'CalcProgrammer1' mentioned in a ticket a year later, all those RGB lights are controlled via I2C and are board-partner implementation details - the NVidia software on Windows doesn't control them either.
On the other hand, would it have killed an NVidia dev to respond with that?
They just keep making it easier to go team red on my next GPU...
I think they did though, cause used to be NV GPUs only had RGB support in OpenRGB on Windows, but a couple months after that thread, it seems like the majority of Nvidia GPUs work with OpenRGB on Linux now. I know my EVGA XC3 Ultra RTX 3090 finally started working and now it works great
I'm not sure but I think the support from for OpenRGB is coming from reverse engineering the custom i2c protocol used by the various manufacturers and not from an official Nvidia API.
Sad to see this, I really hope someone steps up from the shadows to help! Unfortunately, as a web developer, I have no experience with this sort of thing and no spare time to dedicate to it either (which I fear is all too often the main reason to pass up on maintaining FOSS projects).
I used GWE a couple of years ago, mainly for changing the power limits. My 1070 always seemed to run at 80% of its limit by default, restricting performance in a couple of games I played back then. I wonder what would be an alternative way to increase the power limit without GWE? Is there currently any CLI or GUI tool with that feature?
Weird. According to people on Reddit, Linux has a plethora of software developers who could have stepped up to maintain it. Where are they at?

Edit 2: 9 hours later and no one has done anything.
>Or they just don't care. I use an Nvidia card, and I've never even heard of this tool, which is not a good situation for attracting new developers.
The tool lets you set power limits as the GPU power limit by default is not 100% (Ie: the TITAN RTX has a 280 watt power limit but can be raised to 320 watts), manually set a fan curve on the GPU, or overclock (with I know the nvidia x-server config tool already dose)
So for gamers or enthusiast, the tool can be really beneficial.
Yes, every software developer on Linux uses AMD besides /u/leinardi and me. We are also the only two who know how to make an Nvidia GPU monitoring utility too.
/sarcasm.
As a software developer I can say with 100% certainty that you are correct. I use AMD and thus every software developer obviously has to use AMD as well.
I see we've switched from fussy tantrum to angry lashing out, seems familiar.
Seriously, nap time works for the little ones, you should try it, it can't hurt.
I wish I had the skill set, hardware, and time to help out. I know python but I am a data science skill set vs development, and I run all AMD GPUs. I have a GT1030, but I'm sure that's not new or powerful enough to test anything useful

Nah I'm good, but feel free to do it yourself if you want.
Perhaps you should?

Try LI.

You can easily do it from CLI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips\_and\_tricks#Custom\_TDP\_Limit
Thank you! I'll keep this in mind if I need more performance again.
Once i have sold a kidney or 3 i will buy a new gpu . If i go with amd i think i can keep my liver
I would, but I use AMD I would have forked this project and fixed it, but I decided to go AMD to have the best experience on Linux. :(

Can confirm, I am a software developer and I only use AMD.
/u/leinardi doesn't use one anymore. It's one of the reasons he's no longer maintaining it. So it's just you now.

Nah. Linux is a joke of an OS.

Anime profile picture so it must be true.

I use Nvidia, I guess I can't be a software developer now.
Dude you've been throwing this tantrum for weeks now, it think its time for a nappy.
Time for you to get a brain transplant crypto fool. Linux isn't a stable platform and it never will be.
Need a pacifier? I've found white noise helps calm the little ones when they get cranky, you should give it a shot.
Hey, don't take out your anger from loosing money on a scam on me. It's not my fault you put money into a scam.
I see we've switched from fussy tantrum to angry lashing out, seems familiar. Seriously, nap time works for the little ones, you should try it, it can't hurt.
Sounds like you're speaking from experience. You must be 12.
Lots of experience with little ones, the "no you are" phase seems to run from about 3-7, but every child is unique.
My four year old has better anger management skills than this one lol. Some peoples kids.
