I recently switched to Linux on my HP Victus Gaming Laptop (model 16-r0073cl) and noticed that the fans aren't working. I have a laptop cooler to prevent overheating while gaming, but I've tried various fan control software and none can detect my fans. Additionally, the sensors-detect tool doesn't find them either, and there's no option to adjust fan settings in the BIOS. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to check for any available firmware updates for your laptop. Manufacturers occasionally release BIOS updates that could help with hardware compatibility, including fan control. Plus, consider trying out different Linux kernels; sometimes, newer kernels have better support for newer hardware.
It's crucial to mention which Linux distribution you're using, as some drivers are specific to certain distros. Have you looked into whether your distro has specific fan control tools or if there are kernel parameters you could tweak? Sometimes, checking online forums for your specific laptop model can yield good results.
