Linux alternatives

A list of Linux Mac Fan Controlling utilities.

Please note that this list will be updated if there are missing utilities,or if there are new ones released.

• mbpfan (CLI)

• macfanctl (CLI)

• MacLinuxUtils (GUI)

• iMac Fan control (CLI)

In this guide,we will take a look individually at each of the tools in this list,so it is easier for users to decide.

Before you check every program,you can notice that they have a tag in front of them.The tag represents the type interface the program uses.

CLI

• A command-line interface (CLI) processes commands to a computer program in the form of lines of text.

GUI

• The graphical user interface (GUI) is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and audio indicator such as primary notation, instead of text-based user interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation.

With that being said,I hope that this list will make it easy for any Mac user running Linux to choose a fan control utility.
