    I am writing to report an issue we are experiencing with Debian on
    several laptops within our company, Samadi1. The system and any
    related software are unable to detect or interact with the laptop
    fans. This problem persists across multiple devices, most of which
    are Gigabyte G5 MF (2023) models, and it is causing concern as we
    cannot monitor or control fan speeds, which is critical for system
    stability and performance.

    I have noticed that some firmware does not allow any user interaction
    with the fan. The firmware controls the fan, and that's it.

    If you haven't already, install the sensors package and set it up. Then
    see if it even reports on the fans. E.g.:

    sensors | grep -i fan

    If that produces no output, you'll just have to depend on the firmware.

    Does anybody read signatures any more?
