From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes but you misunderstand the issue here. It's not about whether LACT or CoreCTRL is better. They only allow you to work within the default limits. For example max power limit is 312W on my card and I can only go up to 312W in those applications. By editing pp_table I can increase it to whatever I want. What I'm doing by editing pp_table is going beyond those limits and whether I use one application or another it does not matter. Also I switched from CoreCtrl to LACT because CoreCtrl on GNOME can't be minimized into tray so it was just annoying.
Also I can edit FCLK, SOCclck, TDC limits, etc... those are things that are not available to be edited in CoreCTRL or LACT or even on Windows in MSI Afterburner or AMD Adrenaline Software.
Basically, I can edit almost all of this to tune my OC as I wish:
My knowledge here is limited so I apologise if I'm not being helpful, but at least in case of Arch there's a special kernel flag (amdgpu.performancemask iirc) to allow OC of your graphics card, are you passing one in your setup?
Use triple backticks for blocks of code-type stuff
example, wrapped in a spoiler tag.
I'm on gnome, no issues with corectrl minimising to tray
