I have a Lenovo T14s as my personal laptop, running Fedora Linux on it. I’ve never heard the fans, unless compiling larger chunks of software or when stressing the device with complex tasks like gaming.
Now I’ve got the same device model from one of my customers, but it’s running Windows 11. The fan is spinning all the time and constantly switching between annoyingly loud and insanely loud. Even when the system is just idling with just a chat application and one browser window open.
How can an operating system be such a resource hog and why thefuq is this so widely used?! My power meter socket shows almost triple the average draw that my personal device with Linux is consuming.
Tonight, I’ll probably dream about those constant fan noises brrrrrr :facepalm:
