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.

              You shouldnt constantly check if that app is installed, especially not using package manager testing. Do it once.
You forgot some argument to run the settings from CLI, it seems to try to launch a GUI

the reason for more than one elif is for different package managers like apt, yum and dnf, other than that it just skips it if the package is detected.

Afaik it uses cli to find the temperature. i couldnt set the temperature with nvidia-smi so i had to use nvidia-settings

gpuTemp=$(nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp | grep '^ Attribute' |
head -n 1 | perl -pe 's/^.?(\d+).\s$/\1/;') echo -en "Current GPU temperature: $gpuTemp \r"

Yes the loop is nice, but you know your packagemanager and that this package will not disappear randomly, so keep it out of this service script, its just an extra break point and wastes resources :D

The rest, idk
