Set CPU scaling governor, energy performance preference, and ACPI platform profile for performance, balanced, and battery‑save modes. Added root assertion and detailed logging. - New Features: Added set_cpu_governor, set_energy_performance_preference, set_platform_profile; integrated into execute for each PowerCommands variant. - Enhancements: Use of logging to report successes/failures; fallback to modern scheduler governor (schedutil); validation of CPU sysfs paths. - Bug Fixes: Guard against missing sysfs entries; improved debugging messages.
lapctl
lapctl is an upcoming command-line utility written in Rust for managing laptop hardware features on Linux.
It aims to provide a simple and unified interface for controlling hybrid GPU modes, battery charging limits, and other laptop power features directly from the terminal.
Planned Features
-
Switch GPU modes on hybrid graphics laptops
- Integrated GPU
- Hybrid mode
- NVIDIA GPU
-
Set and manage battery charging limits
-
View laptop hardware and power status
-
Lightweight and fast CLI interface
-
Designed for Linux systems with hybrid GPUs (Optimus)
Project Status
