## Description

LACT is an AMD GPU control suite and performance tuner for Linux systems. It functions as a GPU hardware monitor and management interface designed to optimize VRAM and processor frequencies through offsets and custom power profiles.

The project utilizes a client-server architecture, allowing a graphical interface to monitor and control graphics hardware over a network connection via a background daemon. This remote management capability enables users to manage hardware on distant machines from a centralized interface.

The suite covers hardware tuning for overclocking and undervolting, power limit management, and thermal regulation through custom fan curves. It includes observability tools for real-time telemetry tracking, hardware specification reporting, and telemetry data export. Additionally, it provides a command-line interface for system information and hardware settings management, as well as kernel-level boot recovery to restore default settings after unstable configurations.
