Since I installed the official fan script, and it did nothing, I kept searching. I found a second user made script for controlling the fan, however I’m too inexperienced with linux to even understand what’s being asked.

How To Install Firstly you need to have a build environment setup, that includes the following gcc dtc git bash linux-headers make git NOTE : The package names will be different depending on your OS so I’ve only given their binary names. Refer to your distribution for what you need to install. I’ve tried to make the installer as simple as possible. After cloning this repo simply run ./install You may need to reboot for full functionality.

What does he mean “build the environment setup”? And how do I clone a repo?

I’m trying this out on raspberry pi OS 64 bit, which is listed as compatible. If I can learn HOW to do this, I’ll do it on my main SD card OS, TwisterOS, which is also listed as compatible.

    have a build environment [set up]

    Means that you need to have a C/C++ compiler and typical set of supporting tools installed so you can compile the program. For Debian (which Raspberry Pi OS is based on), the build-essential package will get you most of the way there - you can use the search tools at https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages to find which packages provide the other tools you need

    clone the repo

    Means download the code using the git tool - run git clone <url>
