LACT 0.8.2 Released For Multi-Vendor Linux GPU Control GUI

([Free Software] 6 Hours Ago LACT 0.8.2)


LACT 0.8.2 is out this weekend as the newest feature release to this Linux GPU control application. This Rust-based software provides a GUI for controlling AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel GPUs under Linux with various monitoring metrics, information reporting, power configuration, thermals configuration, and overclocking with supported hardware.

LACT is one of the few options available for those wanting an open-source GPU control/monitoring app for Intel / AMD Radeon / NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards on Linux. Beyond its command line and GUI, today's LACT 0.8.2 release adds the ability to export monitoring information to OpenTelemetry servers.

The LACT daemon can export GPU metrics to an OpenTelemetry server if you want to view your GPU clock speeds, power usage, temperature, vRAM usage, and more from a remote server:

LACT 0.8.2 also adds some new additions to its command line interface, improved multi-GPU handling in its GUI, and various other UX enhancements.

Plus the LACT Flatpak package has been improved and various other smaller changes. More details on the LACT 0.8.2 release via [1]GitHub .

Although it is still a truism in industry that "no one was ever fired for
buying IBM," Bill O'Neil, the chief technology officer at Drexel Burnham
Lambert, says he knows for a fact that someone has been fired for just that
reason. He knows it because he fired the guy.
"He made a bad decision, and what it came down to was, 'Well, I
bought it because I figured it was safe to buy IBM,'" Mr. O'Neil says.
"I said, 'No. Wrong. Game over. Next contestant, please.'"
