Nitroctl, a CLI NitroSense alternative for Linux, Made thanks to the linuwu-sense driver.

What is this?

A tool made with Python that lets you change keyboard RGB colors, thermal profiles, battery limiter and more using the Linuwu-Sense module. Currently, it works on Nitro devices only. Distro-agnostic, does not depend on systemd. Tested on Void Linux.

Why did I make this?

Another tool that does the same thing wouldn't work on Void Linux so i decided to make my own, though mine lacks a GUI and is a bit less user friendly.

Prerequisites

This tool depends on python and the Linuwu-Sense module. Installation guide of Linuwu-Sense can be found on their repository.
