Discussion about fan mode control
Hey, I discovered a driver that reverse engineered fan control for gigabyte laptops and can talk to the EC responsible for fan control and other things.

I would think it would be awesome to start a community, that gathers all owners of Gigabyte on Linux laptops and desktops. This can start a project to support and recreate the GCC on Linux.
Please tell me if you're interested.
FYI: Gigabyte WMI for Desktops already exists in Linux kernel. take a look at https://github.com/t-8ch/linux-gigabyte-wmi-driver and https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/drivers/platform/x86/gigabyte-wmi.c?h=v6.14.6
This is for desktop, I'm suggesting about helping the development of the Laptop driver.

Looking forward for further support for both opengigabyte and gigabyte-laptop-wmi, this will help the community integrating more missing functionality, and probably kernel integration, I wish you good luck.
There is this post that I wrote about that, it applies for my AORUS15G https://www.castoriscausa.com/posts/2022/06/25/aorus15g-fan-control/
And its respective repo https://github.com/rcassani/p37-ec-aorus15g
(A bit of shameless self promotion)
Speaking of self promotion, I implemented a small TUI to control the fans of my 15p based on @rcassani's shared repo. It's not perfect, but has been working well for me over the past few months.
