🚀 v1.3.5 - The Microservices Revolution!

🛠️ What's New?

🧩 Decoupled Microservices Architecture

Instead of one large background process, the system now runs 5 independent services, each dedicated to a specific task:

hpm-fan: Intelligent fan control and curve management.
hpm-rgb: Lighting effects and animation engine.
hpm-power: Power profiles and energy management.
hpm-mux: GPU switching logic (prime-select, envycontrol, etc.).
hpm-platform: System temperatures, battery info, and keyboard fixes.
This architecture ensures that if one service (e.g., RGB) fails, critical system functions like fan control or MUX switching continue to work uninterrupted.

⚡ Maximum Performance & Minimum Resource Usage

RGB Engine: When using a static color, the engine now enters a deep sleep using Event.wait(), consuming 0% CPU.
Smart GPU Monitoring: The service now checks the Nvidia GPU's power state (suspended) before polling. It will not force-wake the dGPU, significantly extending battery life.
Dynamic Backoff: Polling intervals automatically expand when system values remain unchanged, further reducing background overhead.

🎮 GPU TGP 80W Cap Mitigation (HP Omen Max 16)

The chronic issue in mainline kernels (v7.0+) that caused the GPU power to be capped at 80W on certain Omen models (specifically 8D41) has been fixed. Thanks to a patch provided by xcellsior, the unnecessary firmware writes at probe time are now gated, allowing your GPU to reach its full TGP!

🔄 Refined Installation & Update Experience

Due to the major architectural change, you must use the updater script: sudo ./setup.sh update to transition to this version.
The installer now prompts you before installing the "Custom DKMS Driver." (Kernel 7.0+ users with working out-of-the-box fan control can safely skip this).

⚠️ Important Update Instructions

If you are upgrading from an older version, please run the following commands in your terminal to cleanly remove old service artifacts and register the new microservices:

cd OmenCommandCenterforLinux
git pull
sudo ./setup.sh update
