Phoronix: TUXEDO Computers Launches A Power/Thermal Control Center For Their Linux Systems

German Linux PC vendor TUXEDO Computers has launched the "TUXEDO Control Center" to provide a GUI-driven control panel for managing thermal and power settings on their systems...

While I appreciate the effort, I'm not a fan of Node.js so thanks but no thanks.

meh, it is what it is and that's what they have chosen.

I had a look at it - and as one would expect - it is very tightly coupled to their platform

As an openSUSE user I am happy with this support.

The sad thing is, that looks like it'd be a breeze to do in Qt's QML-free QWidget APIs, either pure C++ or via the Python bindings.

Is it comparable to Slimbook Battery 3?

It is open source, let's fork it and do it in Rust hahaha

Pure C++ is bad idea, either Rust or something else with automatic memory management (garbage collection). C++ takes time to write correctly without memory leaks.

I was just pointing that out as the polar opposite to doing it in something Node-based to drive home that it's really overkill to rely on something best suited to custom widgetry in this situation.

Python would be what I'd use for automatic memory management in that context, given that the best QWidget bindings currently available for Qt (rust-qt) are still in a state where most of the APIs are the low-level unsafe wrappers because it only just got support for custom signals and slots and subclassing support is apparently the next primary focus.

So? If it is "a breeze" you can always re-implement it with the preferred tools.
