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.

    Ok, I did this in terminal.

    bighat@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install gcc dtc git bash linux-headers
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'raspberrypi-kernel-headers' instead of 'linux-headers'
E: Unable to locate package dtc
bighat@raspberrypi:~ $

    and then searched “raspberry pi os dtc package” and got this page

    Is this what I want?

      Sounds right. The thing to do is try it and see. Most Linux packages like this are tiny. Just get in the habit of installing, trying, uninstalling what doesn’t work. Take on a more scientific mindset. The Doz attempts to make a person act helpless like a dependent toddler that needs their hand held and to pay for the right to hold that hand. This is manipulative nonsense. Linux has thousands of people learning and solving problems in hundreds of ways. Just find some people doing it in a way that works for you too. Any issue likely has dozens of paths to a solution from different angles. Learn to keep looking for stuff even after you find one thing. Just be open to new stuff. Also be weary of older user based solutions that are not kept up to date. These often do not work.
