Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HorizonUnix/ZenTune/main/install.sh | bash

UXTU4Linux is now ZenTune. This release drops the dmidecode system dependency, adds a way to override detected CPU info, adds macOS support

Hardware detection

  • No more dmidecode. CPU identity and board info are now read from /proc/cpuinfo, /sys, and zenmaster, which every distro already exposes.
  • Hardware tab shows Device and Processor only. Memory Information (RAM manufacturer/part number/speed, which only ever came from dmidecode's SMBIOS read), Battery Information (health/cycle detail), and Processor's cores/threads/clock/cache rows have all been dropped. The Processor card now shows exactly what's detected (name, codename, architecture, signature).
  • Edit CPU info. A new "Edit CPU info" button in Settings lets you override the detected CPU name, useful for demoing a different model's premade preset. It doesn't change your real detected architecture/family, so it can't affect how the daemon talks to your actual hardware.

macOS support

  • ZenTune now runs on macOS (Hackintosh, AMD Ryzen CPU). Tuning, presets and automations all work the same as on Linux.
  • Two SMU access paths. The daemon reaches the CPU through the DirectHW kernel extension, or a kext-free fallback through IOKit's IOPCIBridge service (needs the debug=0x144 boot-arg, tuning only, no live sensor graphs). See the macOS Installation guide.
  • launchd instead of systemd. The background daemon installs as a launchd job (com.horizonunix.zentune) and gets the same in-app management (install/restart/view logs/uninstall) as the systemd service on Linux.
  • Startup backend check. If neither DirectHW nor the kext-free fallback is usable, the app now shows a clear message pointing at the install guide, instead of silently failing to apply presets, matching the existing Secure Boot/ryzen_smu check on Linux.
  • Adaptive Mode stays Linux-only for now. The tab and its Settings toggle are hidden automatically on macOS.

Updates and repair

  • Dependencies always stay current. Both the in-app updater and the daemon's "Install / repair" action now always upgrade to the latest versions pinned in requirements.txt, instead of only installing what's missing. This closes a gap where the daemon's venv bootstrap didn't even check for zenmaster.
  • Manual runs fail cleanly. Running UXTU4Linux.py directly without pip install -r requirements.txt first now shows a clear message telling you what to install, instead of a raw traceback.

Renamed to ZenTune

  • UXTU4Linux is now ZenTune. Install paths, the systemd service, the socket, and the zentune command have all moved to match. Config and custom presets carry over automatically.
  • v1.1.0 users migrate automatically. If you're still on v1.1.0, using "Check for updates" one more time will walk you through a one-time automatic migration to ZenTune.
