Another data point: for me, it’s the complete opposite. On my new acer laptop with dual boot, windows runs nicely and quietely does what I tell it to, except for some random unwarranted Cortana stuff once in a while.
On the other hand, Ubuntu is completely unusable due to noise of the fans that spin up like crazy for the most trivial of operations.

This used to be a frequent problem in the 2000s with Linux but I thought it was largely fixed except on the very newest laptops (takes 3-6 months for kinks to be worked out in my experience after a laptops release).
