I have been having problems starting Manjaro and had to disable Coolercontrol.
After I could boot into the OS again I activated the coolercontrol service again but starting the app I have mentioned that it did not show the watercooler anymore.
So I tried to update but first I checked the packages:

So I tried to update them, with no success:

Since everything I found told to install it with yay I was flabbergasted as to why the update did not work.
Then I found an article that said uninstall via pacman and reinstall via yay.
I did that with the same result
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Now I am not just unable to update it, I uninstalled it and cannot get it back not knowing why because everywhere it says to install it like that.
e.g.:
Then I looked at this coolercontrol-liqctld · main · CoolerControl / CoolerControl · GitLab (so apparently it is a git repository thus no clue why the error says otherwise) and none of those commands work, they all seem to miss some rule but which I dont know.
Thats the part about Linux I dont get. You find a site that is giving command suggestions but they are not complete.
Does someone know how I can get coolercontrol back on my Manjaro? The pump of the watercooler is much more silent in idle, when it is installed.
It also would be useful to have an updated proton-ge-custom-bin because I can use that for gaming with and without Steam.
