I have found several programs that let me see what hardware I have, but none that manage drivers, allow me to do “custom” stuff to it like … run fans faster, or similar things.

I have run thermald , but even then, running fallout 3 or balatro makes my computer hit 95C (on the gfx card, with CPU not much cooler ~88). I did re-thermal paste and termal pillow my laptop, and it’s the same heating problems still.

I don’t know how to get “hardware profiles” for NVIDIA X server settings.

EDIT : kinda like the stuff Pika OS has, which I tried to compile and run here, but the dependencies did not want to be obtained.

I’ve customsied this version of debian too much to just switch to that, and besides , that OS specifically warns you that it’s experimental and should not be used for serious applications and I want a stable system.

    Unfortunately performance starts degrading. Fallouts combat gets worse, or desktop responsiveness goes down.

    This also happens when running builds and such
