The HP-WMI driver is slated to receive manual fan control support for select HP OMEN and Victus S-Series gaming laptops in the upcoming Linux 6.20~7.0 kernel cycle. This enhancement will enable Linux users with compatible HP gaming hardware to manage their laptop's fan speeds directly, offering greater control over thermal performance and acoustic output. The Phoronix report indicates this functionality will be integrated into the kernel development leading up to Linux 7.0.
