Tech help needed!
Ubuntu 20.04 ... not my machine, but I have it in front of me.
Recently the fans have been spinning up for no obvious reason. I've taken the machine to be cleaned and the thermal paste replaced.
Booted into Windows 10 from an external USB drive ... fans do *not* spin up.
Booted into Ubuntu ... fans *do* spin up ... again.
So it would appear to be Ubuntu spinning up the fans when not needed.
Advice requested!
Thank you ...
