From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My cyberpower UPS works well. There's a service you can run to shut your computer down or whatever when it goes to battery power (check arch wiki) but it also works with GNOME (its displayed how a laptop battery would be displayed, but its labeled as a UPS) and it works well with NUT too.
I have 3 cyber power UPSs on my network and I haven't had any issues with them. The web interface isn't the best but it does it job
There's also a linux command line interface for at least business class cyberpower UPSs. (Not sure on consumer end.)
Worked like a charm for me on a headless machine.
Their PowerPanel Personal and Business editions both seem to work with all of their UPS models. I used to run PowerPanel Business on a basic tower-style model.

I was happy with my cyber powers for years, but then the batteries died (official replacement batteries, after 3 years - the originals lasted 5) and the ups just stopped even passing power through. This is someone's old blog about this https://blog.networkprofile.org/cyberpower-ups-avoid/
