About LACT
LACT (Linux GPU Configuration And Monitoring Tool) lets you view and change settings for AMD, Nvidia and Intel GPUs on Linux. It shows what the card is doing and gives control over its configuration from a graphical interface.
The project is split into a background daemon that applies settings, a GUI and a command-line client. It is written in Rust, is actively developed, and ships a Flatpak build alongside other packages. It suits Linux gamers and enthusiasts who want a single tool across GPU vendors.
