Any replacement for Green With Envy (GWE)?

Overclocking question with GreenWithEnvy
The power limit in GWE is the Watts, not a percentage. For example, under Windows with Afterburner my Power % goes up to 110% on my RTX 2080 Ti. That actually equates to 330 Watts (since it is a 300 watt card). So in GWE my slider starts at 300 and goes up to 330. These limits are set by card, so if you max'd your slider under Afterburner, its basically the same thing in GWE, just presented differently. That said, I've never really had a good experience with GWE setting my power limit on start, so I instead run a script on startup. The Nvidia driver comes with a tool called nvidia-smi (neat fact this program actually comes with the Windows driver too, just harder to access). I have this in my autostart:
# Set powerlimit for my RTX 2080 Ti sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 330
This sets the power limit on my GPU. If you only have a single Nvidia GPU the -i 0 will be the same for you, but you'll need to know what your upper power limit is and replace 330 with that. Do note that this requires sudo to be executed. Since it is startup I don't want to enter my password so I you can open a terminal and run sudo EDITOR=nano visudo. If you are comfortable with vi/vim you can leave out the "EDITOR" part, but most people are more comfortable with nano. Then you want to add at the bottom %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nvidia-smi. This basically says to let any user in the "wheel" group (the group that is usually used to signify a user with sudo priveleges on most distros) can run specifically the nvidia-smi in "/usr/bin" without a password. Now the path and group might have to change, I'm not familar with Pop_OS since I use Arch, but you should be able to go from there fairly easily.
As for the offsets, it should be the same as in Afterburner. It basically is just telling the GPU to +X Mhz to the clock/memory speed at X voltage, which is how the offsets work in Afterburner. That said, there is no equivalent (at least I've not found it) of the OC Scanner or the Clock-to-Voltage curve like you can in Afterburner. Also be aware that different OS react differently to overclocks. I find that I can actually do more under Linux on my GPU than Windows, but I find that my CPU overclock (which I can't dynamically change) is more likely to cause instability under Linux than Windows. So you'll have to redo your experiments and stressing to find what works.

The author is no longer maintaining it and I'd very much like to find a replacement so I can manually manage my fan curves.
Thank you!
**SOLVED** Thank you u/Dk000t LACT flatpak works great as a replacement.
I just switched to Ubuntu 20.04 and can't customize the fan speed of my gpu. RTX3070, PC, nvidia driver 470 (tried on 525 and 515, still didn't work). I red another post like this in this page, but it didn't solve my problem. I have access to create new profiles for fan speed, i can apply them, but nothing happens when applied. Duty 0% , rpm 0. Sometimes when i restart the GWE it stucks on 30% for 10 seconds and drop on 0% fan. GWE 0.15.5. Also i can't find the .conf file of the GWE.
