I share this EXACT concern. I dualboot, and sometimes go lay in bed just for a bit so the pc is idling, and yeah, on windows the fans random ramp up and down constantly, on linux, consistently quiet
Wasn't the fans (mind you the last version of Windows that have touched any of my machines was 8.1) it was the hard disk. Every Windows machine I've ever used with a mechanical hard drive, from a 486 IBM PS/2 to my Dell Inspiron laptop always sounded like the hard disk had baseball cards in the spokes. Linux doesn't make the same noise; it doesn't sound as frantic. It's like Windows has more papers to shuffle or something.
That almost immediately struck me when I started using Linux about ten years ago and no one else seems to know what I'm talking about.
