Apparently I lied. My laptop is running windows with the lid closed and the fans are occasionally firing up for a second. Strange.

He looks like Beaker from the muppets, but an infinitely worse version.

I sometimes dual boot into windows on the same laptop and it also hits the fans hard, especially after booting up, but it doesn’t suffer the periodic fan problem. Not that I’m shilling for windows. I hate windows and use Linux on my server.

I also settled on fedora with kde but the fans in my laptop keep spinning up every few seconds, even when locked. It’s very annoying.
