AWCC for Alienware & Dell G series devices 🚀 AWCC\* is an unofficial alternative to Alienware Command Centre of Windows for the Alienware Series Device on Linux, supporting almost all features that the Windows version supports, including custom fan controls, light effects, g-mode, and autoboost. \*This project is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or produced by Dell. It is simply my personal contribution and hobby aimed at improving the Linux experience on Dell laptops. 🎮 **Discord community for support and feedback** : --- > [!NOTE] > For lights and other light device that comes under dell (including everything > like keyboard,mouse,monitors etc) try AlienFX > it would have a gui interface in awcc itself ✨ Features • 🖥️ **GUI and CLI support** • ⚡ **Lightweight** (uses around ~88mb of RAM with GUI open, else 6mb RAM while running in background) • 🌈 **All Light Effects** • 🧑‍💻 **Daemon Support** (no sudo needed if daemon is running) • 🎮 **GMode and Light Key autobinding** just like Windows • 🔥 **Supports All modes** that your device has • 💻 **Supports all of Alienware device** in including keyboard,mouse,monitors etc • 🕵️ \*_No Telemetry and Open Source_ • 📈 **Custom Fan Curve** (Soon) --- 📸 Screenshots --- 🛠️ Building And Installation 🗿 For Arch-Based Distros 🛠️ Manual Installation **Dependencies** : • (Most important) • • or **Make Dependencies** : > [!NOTE] > Can be removed after installing • • • OR if you are a debianoid Then enable the using : Reload udev rules using Load ACPI module using > [!TIP] > Do to make > acpi_call module auto load on startup so u dont have to type modprobe command > everytime Frequently Asked Questions • **Auto enable gmode on game launch**? Install gamemode using your package manager To autostart the gmode profile on game launch add following changes to: and now edit game's launch command to use gamemode (or if you are using steam) and it would autotoggle gmode on starting a game Thanks to @kevin for this snippet Support and Feedback Need support or want this project to support your device ?
