Hello!
I just got a thelia for system76 and obviously I have installed straight away NixOS. (conf: dotfiles/nixos/machines/thelio at master · gianarb/dotfiles · GitHub)
Now the problem is, the fan is noisy all the time and it is driving me a bit crazy. I had the time to boot PopOS from live usb and everything is silent and great! I want that!!
I had a look at what PopOS runs and I was not really capable of figuring out something obvious. I saw they have installed upower, so I did the same, but it didn’t change anything. The nvidia GPU driver are installed in NixOS as well and the settings looks the same.
I exported an lsmod from both system and PopOS has way fewer modules, but I can’t really identify how to match them and if it will help to solve my issue.
I am open for ideas!
lsmod from popos
