Community Rules
Follow the Code of Conduct
All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct
Be helpful
Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.
Don't post malicious "advice"
It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.
Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

The fan curves are defined by the fan daemon witin the system76-power daemon. This source code in particular. You can install this on any Linux distribution.
Sorry to hear about the bad experience with support. I wonder when this was. I usually see comments praising the level of support that they received.
The issue with the Orxy Pro laptop may have been firmware-related, and fixed by a firmware update from the Firmware Manager application. Although QA performs a lot of sleep and suspend tests before certifying a new firmware release or product, so I'm not 100% sure. It's possible that the system could have shipped from the factory with an older firmware version though.
We have engineers dedicated to open source firmware development, and they continue to maintain firmware for all systems we've ever released with open firmware. So firmware updates are more frequent than you'd typically expect from proprietary firmware. They're currently working on implementing the SecureBoot feature for our open firmware models.
