I never thought of it but that's a good idea. Only thing is that it'd have to take up little storage space. If you have any recommendations let me know!

I considered that might be the case, but I was just hoping to test it on a live USB before installing Linux as that'd save me a lot of time and trouble. If it doesn't work I'd ultimately need to install Windows 11 instead until I can get a computer with better compatibility.

Thanks for the suggestion! It looks like my model hasn't been tested yet. I'm also not very technical so installing and using this software (especially on a live USB) seems like it'd be a bit tricky. Are you aware of any other similar programs?

I'm using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU. I always need to switch to a performance profile in order to run games. This works fine on Windows 10 but when trying the performance power profile on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 live USB I do not hear any difference in fan speed, presumably because GNOME's power profile feature doesn't work with my hardware.

Is there any other way I can increase fan speed before playing games and then bring them back down to normal when I'm done gaming? I asked about this on Ubuntu's forum but got no response.

Anything based on OpenStreetMap is going to be limited compared to Google Maps, at least in my experience where I live. Information on public transit, traffic, police, etc is not existent on Organic Maps. If I were only walking or biking it might be a good option, but for me in practice I just have it as an offline backup to Google Maps.

I'm hoping more people contribute to OSM and CoMaps. Building an alternative isn't easy but very doable if enough people contribute! StreetComplete looks like an easy way for everyone to help out.
