From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A bit of fishing around turns this up: https://gist.github.com/bakman2/e801f342aaa7cade62d7bd54fd3eabd8 If the sensor/fan controller chip in your laptop is indeed one of the it87 models, you will need either the out-of-tree kernel module recommended on that page, or maybe just a quite recent kernel—the it87 chip on my mobo (completely different model from a completely different manufacturer, though) is supported in-tree as of kernel 6.1. I was using the out-of-tree module during 2018-2022, and it was touchy and required a boot param to allow it to load despite an ACPI conflict (that might have been fixed, though.)
