  • I just tried to make the switch and sadly went back also. I tried Nobara, PopOS and Mint and while I had little to no issues with gaming, other issues caused me to return. I have Lian Li V2 fans and they won’t work without their Windows or Mac software. If the PC is shut down, they spin at their lowest speed and disappear in my BIOS. Lian Li is more to blame here but I don’t want to replace 3 fans that work fine. I had tons of really weird sleep issues on all 3 distros too. Usually after a fresh reboot, it would sleep as expected but after that, it either wouldn’t sleep at all or immediately wake up. I use WOL to turn the PC on when I want to game in the basement so while a minor gripe, this coupled with my fan issues was so frustrating. I also resisted Linux for a while due to no or little HDR support, but missed it less than I thought I would and I know it’s coming very soon. Loved how lightweight the OS was and miss the simplicity. I shall try again someday…



  • Thank you so much for continuing to try and help. It’s greatly appreciated. I am very new to Linux so while I can do some basics, this is very helpful. I installed pyUSB but still get an error when running the script. I have the script placed in my home folder. Should it be elsewhere? The error I get is “No module named ‘usb’. I did adjust the script to have my controller’s proper identification so feels like I’m missing a small piece of the puzzle!


  • Thank you for the continued effort to help! If I boot into windows and enable the “MB RPM Sync”, the fans are recognized by the BIOS and ramp up and down as needed. This setting does not persist after a shutdown tho. The only way I’ve found to consistently have the fans work as intended after a shutdown is to unplug the USB cable from the Lian Li controller, which kills RGB. I have the PWM connector from the controller going straight into one of the connectors on my mobo. I can tell that after a shutdown, the fans just rotate on their lowest setting, until I open L-Connect 3 again on windows or disconnect the usb port. I’m attempting to implement this: https://github.com/kryzaach/Lian-Li-Unifan-Sync but think I have it placed in the wrong location, as it errors out immediately.
