Why? Do they happen to be playing inside a sauna? An oven, perhaps? Maybe it’s not a good idea to take any electronic device in the middle of a desert during summer.

Maybe because Linux is known for poorer power and fan control. Imagine having issues before dust has even accumulated.

Is that so? Funny, the entire Internet must’ve missed that. Come, teach the whole world your infallible knowledge of Linux’s problems.

You’re making assumptions or just playing your propaganda game. You have nothing to add to the tech conversation.

is it known for that? do you mind linking some documented evidence for this claim? this is my first time hearing something like this

The issue is more common in laptops and Valve’s new hardware uses a laptop mobo.
