Div Acer Manager Max

Div Acer Manager Max is a feature-rich Linux GUI utility for Acer laptops powered by the incredible Linuwu Sense drivers. It replicates and expands on Acer’s NitroSense and PredatorSense capabilities on Linux with full fan control, performance modes, battery optimization, backlight settings, and more — all wrapped in a modern Avalonia-based UI.
