Software discoverability on linux sucks so much omg. I was looking for something like coolercontrol for almost forever and I find it now that I dont need it anymore.
Uh, really? I find it to be much easier. apt contains almost everything, and for a niche thing like yours, a Google for aio fans linux came back with the first result of a reddit thread including the above software, and liquidctl which it uses and is all over the place. I have way more trouble finding things for Windows, but maybe that’s because 98℅ of my use case isn’t gaming.
i searched it at the time and all i could ever find was fancontrol.
which is fine and solved my problem, but 99% of niche linux software i use was found through forums like lemmy, on recommendation of other nerds. hardly a good way to find it quick.
ideally searching a distros app store should find almosy everything, more or less like android can do today.
While I agree with the sentiment, you’re comparing a mobile OS, built that way from the ground up, to a desktop OS. The same problem exists in Windows and MacOS.
