Asus TUF Gaming laptop keyboard backlight as a CPU/GPU utilization indicator with cool gradient effect from blue 🔷 (both 0%) to red 🔴 (CPU 100%) and green 💚 (GPU 100%)

[Linux only]

some useful tools for your Asus Tuf laptop

use keyboard⌨ backlight as an CPU/GPU load indicator with gradients from 🟦 (indicating both idle) to 🟥 (CPU 100% load) and 🟩 (GPU 100% load)

activate powersave thermal throttle mode based on if running on battery🔋 or boost mode if 🎮 FeralInteractive/gamemode is activated and running on charger🔌

Requires hackbnw/faustus driver to be installed and functioning! If your Asus TUF laptop is unsupported by the driver try building dkms module anyway and put following to your kernel parameters🫠, worked for me!
