Is there a way to control fan speed of MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS because it heats up quickly without intensive workload.Pls Help

Installing this fan control daemon from the repos has worked for me on my mid-2012:

$ sudo apt install macfanctld

Reboot and follow that up with installing lm-sensors and checking your core temps:

$ sudo apt install lm-sensors

$ sensors

If you swap the install order, you can test both before and after temps.
