G'day Vanhelis, Welcome to linux.org
from here : https://community.acer.com/en/kb/ar...-predatorsense-software-on-predator-notebooks
It would appear that predaotor sense, : Your Predator notebook comes preloaded with PredatorSense software that allows you monitor and adjust settings for you fan speeds, accent lighting, overclocking, and more.
These types of settings are usually taken care of in the bios.
It would seem that Acer have held users hands and put together a program/app to make this simpler for those not familiar with the bios settings, and also to prevent users bricking the bios on their laptops as a result of making incorrect decisions when adjusting things in bios.
The links etc etc to install that app would be meant for windows.....exe and .msi files etc etc....definitely not meant for Linux

It is possible, perhaps, that that app may install via Wine or similar compatability layer, but I am unsure. I never use wine becasue I have no need to use any windows app or program.
Why do you wish to switch to Linux ?

I want to know that is there any software to control different performance mode and fan control
I am tried of bloat app and pop up to update my system or to use Microsoft edge and anyother microsoft software
Maybe one of these?
Both of this software said that it's not guaranteed to work on my device and both of them are for desktopMaybe one of these?

the method of installing is basically the same whether you have a 1-year-old gaming laptop or a 15-year-old business laptop
In theory yes, BUT be aware POP is made by SYSTEM 76 for their own made kit, it is not a full Ubuntu clone, you may be lucky, and it works first time, But if it doesn't, you can spend days trying to make it work and still not succeed.
Those are not only for desktop systems, you can install them on laptops too. You can also try these?

This young man has a Microsoft mind set, he has not researched Linux or he would know it works differently from windows, or that there is no fundamental difference between a laptop or a desktop [except you would not wish to carry my desktop around in a bag all day [if you had one big enough] or put it on your knee,
Perhaps he may gain a better idea if we ask him to read through some of the post in the gaming forum https://www.linux.org/forums/linux-gaming.202/

That was my impression as well, but hopefully OP is willing to learn that things are done differently with Linux and that it will take time to learn the concepts of how Linux works as they are different from Windows. There are more roads to Rome with Linux, not just one.

Thank you for this website now I got to know what I was asking. It was my first time of wanting to switch operating system even though I want to go full Linux it seems I can't fully let go of a window user mindset of having ready made ui friendly software which is completely wrong and now I understand what difference does Linux have with windows. Thank you and for this problem I will try researching more methods to do and Sorry for my mistake.That was my impression as well, but hopefully OP is willing to learn that things are done differently with Linux and that it will take time to learn the concepts of how Linux works as they are different from Windows.

One last question which distor should I go to arch or fedora or Debian distro. My usage is playing games, programming and software development. I even searched for some and come up with pop and manjaro distro should I go for one of this. Thank you for your support

you can play games on any Linux distribution, you can do web development, software development or even Pen-testing on any Linux distribution
no one distribution is better than any other, despite what some people think https://www.linux.org/threads/what-is-the-best-linux-distribution-which-should-i-use.43789/

If you want to game you are better of with a distribution that ships with more update-to-date software. I don't recommend any Arch-based to distributions to any new Linux users unless since switching to Linux is already a big step. So in this case I would recommend Fedora.
What about nobara or mint I heard they are good.
I would go for Nobara then because it's based on Fedora and I've heard it's got most of the gaming things setup out of the box. But you install your gaming stuff on normal Fedora too except for Nobara has some patches specific gaming patches applied but it will depend on your hardware if you notice it or not. I've ran different types of kernels and never notice a difference in my gaming experience.
