Damaging hardware, lmao
ffs do you LiGNUxers actually research anything other than what distro will solve your current problem?
You're just displaying your inferiority complex here.
Hmm? I was just laughing at how ridiculous your claim is, read my other comment. Overheating can be caused by anything. Often the specific applications you're running instead of the OS. And your hardware has failsafes for this to prevent damage. You might also want to check if your cooling system is still doing its job.
What am I supposed to be feeling inferior about? Please be specific.
