Hey, just FYI, the `master` branch was already migrated to Rx 4.0.x 9 months ago: https://gitlab.com/leinardi/gwe/-/commit/1b64e99846e8463194232ea6a1a1a3bae50b6466
Green With Envy will no longer open

My guess is that the update was a "cascading" update caused by the EOL of Gnome 42 Platform.
Really bad battery life on a Lenovo Yoga 7i

On my system Lenovo Legion 5i i7-10750H with a RTX2060 on hybrid mode I got 15Wh. I'm starting to test with auto-cpufreq + LenovoLegionLinux + GreenWithEnvy (I hope it gets a new maintainer) setting the dGPU to 1W (which it never reaches, never less than 6w).

Nvidia on Linux state
4 projects | /r/linux_gaming | 11 Feb 2023

I'm happy with NVIDIA on Linux for the most part. I stick with X11 for the overclocking Green with envy and g-sync, plus DLSS 2 and ray tracing works in every game I've tried besides hitman, however DLSS 3 frame generation doesn't work and no idea when/if it will.
Nvidia settings shows wrong clock speeds

I am not sure if it supports 1060, but search up GreenWithEnvy. It has maximum power draw control and displays the slowdown temperature among other things
Is it possible to monitor the power draw of an Nvidia dGPU?
