Could you build this?

Partial While the Material 3 UI can be vibe-coded, interacting safely with proprietary Lenovo Legion ACPI calls, fan tables, embedded controller (EC) registers, and Linux kernel modules requires specialized hardware and kernel driver knowledge.

What it would actually take: A functional tool requires a Python/C++ daemon talking to sysfs/hwmon nodes and issuing direct ACPI WMI calls or EC memory reads/writes (often via modules like legion-laptop or ideapad_laptop), alongside a frontend in GTK4/Adwaita or Flutter. The difficult aspect is reverse-engineering specific motherboard EC registers for fan curves and thermal profiles without bricking or overheating hardware across different Legion model years. This demands low-level Linux systems and embedded hardware engineering.
