I've decided to simplify the patch and add it to the surface kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/commit/119b811af88da33ebcf8892effb23f76e0f388bb). While I believe that this patch does not provide the ideal solution, I prefer it over...

Neat! Thanks for testing!

> it make fan cpu more sensitive to thermal, dont it? On the SB2 at least, yes. I assume that should be similar for the SLS.

I am unaware of any more direct fan control. It's possible that there is such a thing, but I haven't seen it in any drivers I've looked at so far.

Yeah, if there is any more direct fan control it's definitely going over SAM, since that already does the "indirect" control via performance profiles.

ZFS cannot be included in the kernel due to licensing issues. See e.g. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linus-Says-No-To-ZFS-Linux. I assume Ubuntu provides that via a pre-compiled kernel module. You'll have to install the "DKMS"...

Interesting. I've had a quick look and according to https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic/tree/debian/scripts/dkms-build?h=hwe-5.4&id=df0fb97ebd193abb53a2e692430ae2c979eb6075 they seem to download and build some DKMS packages (including ZFS) separately but then package them into the kernel package....

Sounds a bit similar to #685

The only thing I can think of that'd fit this behavior would maybe be user-agent spoofing. But I'd kinda assume apt would have the same on Ubuntu and Debian.

Huh, so unless there's another way for GitHub to detect an Ubuntu instance it's an issue with apt? This is weird.
