My thoughts ...
First, this is only a problem in Fedora 37. On Fedora 36 it works.
Second, Fedora 37 has only been out for about three weeks. I bet
adoption is still ramping up.
Third - A good point about many people using laptops and so not needing
a UPS. Even so, there are millions of systems running Fedora. You
would think more people would have noticed.
However - The only reason I noticed is because I set up logwatch to
include output from upsc in the daily report. When that went missing, I
went hunting. If I did not have that daily logwatch, I would never have
noticed. It would not surprise me if a lot of people are having a
problem and don't know it.
And another thing - This machine runs XFCE which by default includes a
battery monitor in the system tray. That battery monitor works
correctly regardless of the status of nut.
Fourth - There is an open bug report at RedHat about this. The Fedora
37 package version 2.8.0-5 is supposed to have a fix. The comments
report other problems with the package, hence it is not yet in the
testing repository.

And even now, weeks after a Fedora release, that bug is not blowing
up with everyone, and their uncle, complaining that nut is completely
non-functional? So, what, there are less than a dozen people out

pretty much, the only option?
This one's a head-scratcher.
I wonder what percentage of Linux users have a UPS? I suspect the
figure is real low. Most people trust their public power supply, and
live in an area with little lightning. Why spend the money?
I think it's because most people are using laptops rather than desktops.
Laptops have their built-in UPS. A spike will probably just fry the wall
wart and not damage the laptop, and they'll just replace the wall wart.
Still, you'd think there'll be more than a dozen people noticing that
nut in Fedora hasn't worked for over two months.
