The whole forum here is bashing Windows for being thermal / performance disaster compared to apple products. I do not see how a laptop running Linux will evade the same fate (at least the bashing :).
replyWhen I switched my desktop from Windows 10 -> Debian, I noticed the fans ran less (until video games). And I pretty much ran the same apps. 1/2 of the complaining is a lack of being able to choose/clean up that is running!
replyIf it helps clarify, Apple have also let their OS quality go too. Years of under investment just shiny new veneer.
replyLinux has continues to improve and in my opinion is ready to be “the free default” OS on PC’s and standard laptops.
