Roughly:

"Fan control in Linux: With modern BIOS versions (from around 1.46) the
BIOS fan control (i.e., the default one, requiring no special drivers
or packages to be installed) is often better than manual control via
thinkfan. It's possible to run thinkfan with lm-sensors, but it's
tricky to get the thresholds configured so that the fan doesn't
suddenly come on full-bore and just as suddenly slow down later. We
thus recommend that with Linux, you use BIOS fan control (without
installing thinkfan)."
