As someone coming from mac, i didn't know about basic things. So one thing I found, don't put your none-mac on a desk mat, it's very bad for thermal throttling. So that helped a ton. I also found that when plugged in in powermode, the lenovo was always on high power, therefore fan on. By switching to balanced, that turned of as well.

But also, as I stuck with Omarchy, I wanted a more beefier machine, as I work all day on the laptop. So with the new machine, Tuxedo latest version, I don't have any fans anymore too, just because it's much faster and better thermal. I will eventually write these up in a second part of the article.

I was able to fix the fan always running issue by changing the fan mode for both my Asus laptop and old macbook pro; I am using silent mode or equivalent and that seems to be fine. there are policy files for throttle_thermal_policy/fan_boost_mode, and you can use a systemd service to set to whatever is your preferred mode.
