Linux on Alienware m15

[GSingh]

I have an Alienware m15(2018) model. I would like to use linux on it, especially pop os. But the issue i am facing is that i can't control Alienware fx lights, and fan speeds after installing pop os. I don't need it to be dual boot. Any suggestions on how i can use the controls of Alienware command center in linux.

 

Thank you

Maybe try this... I haven´t tried it myself, but i read online that this seems to be a nice programm to controll the Alien FX lights

If your AW depends on i8k you wont be able to control The fans but to view The speed. There are some software to control The fans"i8kutils" BUT i had freezes for a msec every time it reads The fanspeed.
