Does Anyone Have Tried Tuxedo Control Center on Artix?

I recently tried tuxedo-control-center for my clevo laptop as its fan sounds really loud. Tuxedo-control-center does reduce the fan speed, but it comes with several problems.

Firstly, i wrote two scripts to store the backlight value to disk at shutdown and to resume it during startup, however tuxedo-control-center always set it to a fixed value which is typically the maximum value, although i could manually change it.

Secondly, i could not shutdown my laptop normally. Tuxedo-control-center includes a service file as follows, so i added tccd.start and tccd.stop to /etc/local.d accroding to the service file. These two files just contain the commands of ExecStart and ExecStop respectively. I don't know if the latter command is the cause.

Code: [Select]
[Unit]
Description=TUXEDO Control Center Service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --start
ExecStop=/opt/tuxedo-control-center/resources/dist/tuxedo-control-center/data/service/tccd --stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Finally, i could not switch to tty[2-6] and could not get a clue about it.

Several months ago, i add "acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Linux" as parameters for kernel to access shotkeys about keyboard light control, and i don't know if this is relavent.

it must works  ;)

just edit some openrc / runit / s6 script and change those commands and create a new PKGBUILD (package), or run it manually, but it must work if it works on archlinux  :)

You may not see what my post clearly :)

But as a result, I made it work. Tccd is a little wired. While it need start or stop arguments, it seems to hold the terminal as a background service. However, a simplest openrc script which just run the start command makes it crash. Maybe the default runlevel is not suitable for it. So i decided to add '&' after the commands i wrote in /etc/local.d and numbered these scripts to make tccd run before backlight recovery. Backlight may remain fixed at first but finally will be fine after a shutdown or reboot.
