I installed Pop_OS in place of ubuntu last week, and loving it so far. Most things worked out-of-the-box, but there is this one thing that has been bothering me.
Whenever I open the lid of my laptop, the fan goes crazy and becomes very loud. Strangely, changing the battery option to “High Performance” seems to silence it. Why is this happening, and how can I remedy this issue?
- My laptop is ASUS ROG Zephyrus, and yes I should not have chosen this one.
Not sure if this will help, but there is a project to improve the Linux experience on ROG Laptops: https://asus-linux.org/
Also remember to check this: https://universal-blue.org/images/asus/
Those images should work easily out of the box and give you a very gentle experience in general :)
Besides the uBlue-image I recommended in the other comment (Link here), which should give you a great OOTB-experience and which you should try first if you want, maybe check out fancontrol.
Sadly, fancontrol is a bit more complicated and might make your device overheat if you reduce the cooling fan speed.
