Hi, should this package work on CachyOS? I get this message "insmod: ERROR: could not load module acer-wmi-battery.ko: No such file or directory"

I'm not too linux savvy, but can follow directions. Edit: Actually, despite the error, I think it still worked (or one of the other commands I tried during troubleshooting did haha). Not sure which, but my battery is holding at 79%. Thanks for the tweak!

Technically, you just install it & restart your Acer computer.

Since this is DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support), the dkms package will automatically install this to all the kernels you've installed (linux, linux-zen, linux-lts, etc.)

And this will make it persistent on reboot and kernel updates. Very standard things when installing drivers.

THIS ASSUMES YOU RESTARTED YOUR LAPTOP AFTERWARD

  1. To enable the Battery Charge Limit, click here to copy-paste command to terminal

  2. For calibration, click here to copy-paste command to terminal

how is this package supposed to work? the github page asks you to make a package that has a module which you manually run, and you can do things like calibration mode

could you provide any info on how to make this package work if i install it from the aur? and how to use the other options?
