## What it is
LACT is a Linux application for controlling and monitoring AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, offering overclocking, fan curves, power management, and historical metrics charts. It runs via a system service independent of the graphical session and can also be used headless with a config file.

## Use cases
- overclock my AMD GPU on Linux
- set a custom fan curve for my Nvidia GPU
- monitor GPU temperature and power over time
- undervolt GPU to reduce heat
- control GPU settings headless on a server
- export GPU metrics to OpenTelemetry
- view detailed GPU hardware info like VRAM and VBIOS

## When to choose
- you need GPU overclocking, undervolting, or fan control on Linux
- you want GPU monitoring with historical charts and CSV export
- you manage GPUs on headless systems via config files
- you want a GUI that works under both Wayland and X11

## When to avoid
- you are on Windows or macOS
- you only need basic GPU info already shown by tools like nvidia-smi
- you need GPU virtualization or compute cluster management

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, gui, configuration-management, analytics
- domain: developer-tools, hardware, operating-systems, performance
- platform: rust, cli
- tags: gpu, overclocking, fan-control, amdgpu, nvidia, intel-gpu, system-monitoring, opentelemetry, linux
