GPU does not stay quiet on Windows
For some this might sound like nitpicking, but to me it’s another example of Linux just being better.
I have a Gigabyte Gaming 7800 XT OC. The fans don’t spin under 60°C. On Windows, I always noticed the same pattern: during light use (YouTube, browsing), temps would slowly rise for 5–10 minutes with fans off, then suddenly spin up for a few minutes, drop temps, and stop again. That spin-up every ~10 minutes was noticeable and a bit annoying, but I assumed it was totally normal.
On Fedora, though, the fans basically never spin unless I’m gaming or doing something heavy. Temps stay much closer to ~40°C instead of creeping toward 60°C.
Same hardware, same usage, just way quieter. Even with a debloated Windows setup, I never got this behavior to match what I have on Linux. Microslop sucks.
