Hello! I have recently begun gaming on Nobara Linux and overall, my experience has been quite good. The biggest issue I’ve experienced so far is not being able to control my Lian Li SL V2 fan controller. The fans connected to the controller are only recognized in my BIOS once I run L-Connect 3 in windows but if my system is shut down, they are no longer seen. I have seen this https://github.com/EightB1ts/uni-sync and a plugin for OpenRGB, but keep running into compilation errors and/or lack of maintaining the project. Any advice is very appreciated!

    For the fan speed controll via BIOS, I ran into the same problem where my SL120s didn’t show up - this was the solution I finally found https://www.reddit.com/r/lianli/comments/k37m9y/sl120_not_recognized_by_bios_try_this

    Get yourself a splitter for the 4 pin fan cables. Disconnect one set of fans from the controller. Connect the unplugged set of fans directly to the splitter. Connect the controller to the splitter. Connect the splitter to the motherboard.

    Your bios should now see your fans. You can create custom fans curves and dynamically control the speed of the fans.

    It may not solve the problems you’re seeing, but it seemed worth sharing.

      Thank you so much for the advice but the issue with the Lian Li Uni Fan v2 is that the fan connectors are proprietary and only fit into the controller. The only thing I could split is from the controller and I don’t think that would really change my current situation.
