From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

is there any advantage over corectrl or is it simply another tool?

The big advantage for me is that lact runs as a (systemd) daemon. This is more convenient for me than having to autostart CoreCtrl.

A disadvantage of the daemon is that it can't be packaged on flathub.

Enable and start the service (otherwise you won't be able to change any settings):
sudo systemctl enable --now lactd
You can now use the GUI to change settings and view information.

LACT has an API over an unix socket.
