The big advantage for me is that lact runs as a (systemd) daemon. This is more convenient for me than having to autostart CoreCtrl.
A disadvantage of the daemon is that it can’t be packaged on flathub.
Enable and start the service (otherwise you won’t be able to change any settings): sudo systemctl enable --now lactd
You can now use the GUI to change settings and view information.
is there any advantage over corectrl or is it simply another tool?

LACT has an API over an unix socket.
