Where are the coreboot configs for the lemp11?
You mean this?: https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/930f16b230a1574abddc1cf313c32f1a90c994e9/src/board/system76/lemp11/board.mk

Fix for Loud Fans
Inexplicably, the built-in curves have a 5 second delay for gazelle. This means, if your chip goes turbo, it will take 5 seconds before the fan will react. By that time, the temperature will have already spiked to 80-90 C. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/2a8befc195cd821232d2934593d29337e4eddb3e/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk

- Your take on this? I know why they do it, but should i be forced to install an OS i don't like just to get support for my hardware? Are there any hardware component manufacturers that support linux?

Lemur pro now?
You can change the keyboard layout but not sure if you can replace the physical keyboard easily. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/doc/keyboard-layout-customization.md

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
If you're wanting to try that out, it's very easy by editing the numbers within the FAN_POINT lines of this file (for your model): https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk

Can't build firmware
I have the ec repo cloned into a sibling dir. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help!

EC clevo
If it is identical to the Clevo that System76 uses then it may be possible to use their firmware.

Loud fans on new Oryx Pro Advanced
This bit of documentation is also helpful, recommends getting the entire firmware-open stack and checking out the current firmware release that you're running and use that as a base for your modifications. This is important because firmware regressions are not uncommon and they often take some time before they are resolved.

Controlling darp8 fans with software?
As for the tracking issue, you want #213. #256 is my proposal for persisting options through power loss.

Improve battery life
I know that Pop os doesn't recommend installing tlp because it might interfere with system-76 power, Is it the same for something like powertop or auto-cpufreq?

NUC X15 abnormal temperature while running Linux
The device had only been purchased ~1-2 months ago so I don't think that dust in the fans would be an issue (as suggested in another post; Intel NUC's overheating - Solution!). The installation of Linux is more or less fresh, the only thing (I think) installed that would affect temperatures is auto-cpufreq (which has slightly lowered temperatures).

You can also use tools like auto-cpufreq to reduce your cpu frequencies when not in heavy load. auto-cpufreq can be configured a lot to meet your specific needs. auto-cpufreq: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
