Fan drivers for a Windows laptop

Tldr: Are there fan drivers I should look into for my Gigabyte Aorus XC laptop (Intel i7; RTX 3070; 32GB RAM), so my fans do not get stuck at 100% when running Linux? I installed Mint 2 yrs ago when this happened. Im aware I cant tell for sure without doing another live boot, but I'd like to prepared just in case.

EDIT: I tried solving this before with acpi fan module also to no avail. I checked lm-sensors scripts for my device before posting this today and there were none still. I also googled for solutions beforehand and did not find anything relevant for my device. Furthermore, when I did a live boot before, the fans were working normally, but on installing either Mint or Ubuntu the fans were maxed out. If I have to install to test things out, then there's not much point to a live boot for this in the first place.

Git repository storage/forge recommendations?
  • I assume that by now you've made a decision, so if I may I'd like to chip in and ask what's the benefit of self-hosting a Git instance, like the ones mentioned, over using existing free services like GitHub or Codeberg to host your code? What do you gain by hosting this yourself, apart from privacy and security?

  • I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
  • I've found that Eucaliptus plants deter mosquitoes pretty well

  • what do you regularly buy that you feel guilty about?
  • Games.

    Extending Gaben's beard since Steam's conception...

  • Board Games?
  • Game Development as a term refers to the development of all games as a whole. I'd say board (or analog) games should belong here just as much as digital games.

    That being said, if people really wish to separate the two and there is enough interest for it, then why not just make a separate community for board games?
