Shoutout to this guy for maintaining my mainboards temperature sensors and pwn fan headers: https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d
Without this and https://github.com/codifryed/coolercontrol my PC was either a jet engine from the sounds or a nuclear reactor from heat constipation.
Fred78290 is the man. Much better than Fred78920
Of course he's better, he's a whole 630 Freds above the other one.
But on the whole, every Fred counts.
Some dude wrote a driver for the temp sensors on my motherboard... Then quit maintining it because people were being shitty
https://github.com/a1wong/it87
This guy still maintains it87: https://github.com/frankcrawford/it87
I've was using his for years on my old motherboard, since the mainline it87 didn't play nicely.
Thought I should mention, he is also slowly adding his changes to the mainline kernel.
Wow, thats just plain stupid. I hope someone forked it.
Software discoverability on linux sucks so much omg. I was looking for something like coolercontrol for almost forever and I find it now that I dont need it anymore.
Uh, really? I find it to be much easier.
aptcontains almost everything, and for a niche thing like yours, a Google foraio fans linuxcame back with the first result of a reddit thread including the above software, and liquidctl which it uses and is all over the place. I have way more trouble finding things for Windows, but maybe that's because 98β of my use case isn't gaming.i searched it at the time and all i could ever find was fancontrol.
which is fine and solved my problem, but 99% of niche linux software i use was found through forums like lemmy, on recommendation of other nerds. hardly a good way to find it quick.
ideally searching a distros app store should find almost everything, more or less like android can do today.
While I agree with the sentiment, you're comparing a mobile OS, built that way from the ground up, to a desktop OS. The same problem exists in Windows and MacOS.
it does, and we ain't in the ideal world! heres the thing, on one hand they got more media covering them, on the other they use an universal kind of installer.
worse, some devs will spin .exes and .dmgs but on linux they wont even bother giving you an install script sometimes, let alone using flatpak which is a solution that fixes most of those problems.
