Description

Fan speed can be controlled from a minimal daemon using Linux hardware-monitoring interfaces and ThinkPad ACPI support. This is useful for advanced users tuning noise, cooling, and temperature behavior on supported laptops.

Fan-control mistakes can overheat hardware or create unstable thermal behavior. Users should understand sensors, thresholds, and emergency cooling before replacing default firmware or kernel fan management.

How to run
