I am new to this forum but not Debian. However I always used it on servers, so terminal (through ssh) only; not as my desktop operating system. But this changed when I installed Debian with Gnome 3 on a brand new laptop I received for work. I was so impressed with it that I decided to sell my two year old Macbook. I was not happy with the rising prices for Apple hardware in my country. I wasn't really bound to any Mac/Win only software package. And I was itching for a replacement with hardware specs that were worth the money.So while browsing around I stumbled upon this MSI Ghost GS60-6QD. The specs where high and the price was pretty low compared to a Macbook Pro and considering what you would get under the hood. When at home unboxing the machine I was in awe of the build quality and especially the quality of the keyboard; it is a fantastic machine. The first thing I did was remove that god awfull windows 10, and installed Debian stretch on it right away. I chose stretch because of better uefi support.
I had a bit of trouble getting bumblebee to work but that was solved by adding

acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"
So I installed lm-sensors, it seems to only detect core temp. When doing pwmconfig as root I get: "There are no pwm-capable sensors modules installed"
I googled for two hours until I got to a point where I felt like I got into a infinite loop. And for some reason I believe the answer is in this page:
