Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue across repeated wake-from-sleep cycles on the Asus Xbox ROG Ally X, then trace the SteamOS sleep/wake handling and fan behavior; done means the fans no longer run at full speed for 20–30 seconds after waking.

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Whenever I wake the device from sleep—which happens several times a day—I hear the fans kick in at full speed. The speed drops after 20–30 seconds, but this happens almost constantly. The Steam Deck used to have a similar issue, but it was fixed; the same can be done for the ASUS Xbox ROG Ally X?
