It requires root for nvidia-settings but fails each time I make my own autostart on systemd

  1. You shouldnt constantly check if that app is installed, especially not using package manager testing. Do it once.
  2. 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
