Undervolting 2080 Ti via NVML and Python Script
Hello, I recently installed Bazzite and have been enoying it so far, but I'm missing the ability to undervolt from Windows. I found a Reddit thread detailing how to achieve something that is effectively an undervolt, but I'm running into issues attempting it in Bazzite.
This is the post in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1fm17ea/undervolting_nvidia_gpu_in_2024/lo7mo09/
I can't seem to figure out how I should install the NVIDIA Management Library API, so I am unable to run my script. Is there a particular way I should try to achieve this in Bazzite? Thanks in advance.

I've made a bit of progress on my own. I've managed to install
nvidia-ml-py and pynmvl, but when I run the script I get an error that states:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynvml'
I'm at a bit of a loss since I know basically nothing about python, so I don't understand why it can't find the module even though I've installed it. I suppose at this point it's more of a python question than a Bazzite one
Perhaps I need to try and do this through Homebrew or Distrobox? I'm not too familiar with either of those, but I see that they're recommended for certain applications
