I dual boot my Framework 13 Gen 1 and in Windows the fans ramp up within a couple of minutes of just doing some very light work. In Linux the only time the fans ramp to a noticeable level is if I “block” the exhaust when using it on a bed or couch, or a workload that goes full beans.

Some of these things might just be the usual Windows problens…like with the heat and fan noise. I have seen huge differences in a few machines (x86 tablet/HP laptop/thinkpad) running Linux vs running Windows. The machines running Linux hardly make a peep until you play a game or compile something. On Windows they were hot and noisy af, night and day difference.

This statement doesn’t actually give a clear picture. It’s doesn’t explain why.
It’s the windows fan curve more aggressive?
What programs were being ran?
What was the actual fan speed?
What was the actual temp?
What was the exact version of Windows/Linux?
We’re these ‘experiments’ ran in the same hardware under the same conditions.
You can choose to be LTT and just say whatever and pass it off as fact, or you can be GN and back it up with highly detailed facts.

Yea sure, you can go and do all that. Im just speaking from my personal experience. There were no experiments, it’s just the behavior I notice from Windows before the device gets the Linux treatment.
