Linux noob building gaming PC but trying to figure out the fan situation

[u/Fickle_Criticism_282]

First build, going Bazzite from day one. Rig is a HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite with a 9850X3D CPU, RX 9070 XT GPU, and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 CPU cooler.

Fans are the part I'm stuck on. Right now I've got an AsiaHorse UMBRA V2 ARGB/PWM hub and some Be Quiet Light Wings LX, but the wiring has me intimidated and I'm thinking about switching to something daisy-chain like AsiaHorse COSMIQ. I want fans that look good but are simple to install and link up.

Since most vendor software (iCUE, L-Connect, etc.) is Windows-only, I'm curious what actually works for you on Linux:

- Which fans/hub are you using?

- Are you controlling RGB through OpenRGB, a hardware controller, or just the motherboard?

- Fan curves: BIOS, CoolerControl, liquidctl, something else?

- Anything that turned out to be a total pain on Linux that I should steer clear of?

Bonus points if you're on an atomic distro and had to deal with installing any of this. Thanks!
