PEP 668 - Usage of venv or pipx for installation for Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24.04 #192

Open dengdenglele opened 3 months ago

As of Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS it is not recommended to install any pip package system-wide via "pip install name-of-package", see PEP 668.

I would like to ask, if there are limitations when "undervolt" is installed via pipx or inside a virtual environment? Does undervolting work at all, when installed via pipx or in venv?

If so, do I still need to use sudo for commands such as "undervolt --read"?

It would be great, if the documentation and installations steps gets updated in accordance with the new guidelines.
