Not op but i personally use a fan controler as on my laptop asus weird overboost system is not very well handled by bios.
I was thinking about desktops, where the fan would be physically plugged into a fan controller instead of into the motherboard. Not sure what that would look like with a laptop.
I was mainly asking because some of those fan controllers default to full on when the usb connection is absent, and Windows doesn't enable all usb connections until after the user logs into the system.
Hmm since it's linux you could have a service that handles that at boot i think. (I'm a noob take this with a grain of salt)
