I wasn't able to get zcfan working using the commands listed here:

COMMAND:
sudo echo options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf

RESPONSE:
bash: /etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf: Permission denied

Instead I used:

sudo sh -c 'echo options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf'

(I also used `sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/99-fancontrol.conf <<<"options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1"' but this may have been overkill; I'm still not used to kernel module usage)

You may encounter other users who wouldn't have known how to bundle the command properly to get SUDO working. (I needed help and found it on the BunsenLabs forum!) Especially if they are hobbyist Linux users who bought a Thinkpad!
