inspiron

there! I am scared here! I am a Windows 7 User and decided to install Ubuntu 12.04 on my Notebook Dell Inspiron N5110 and when the Grub loads with the menu list the fan starts speeding up. If I choose windows the fan is noiseless but if I choose Ubuntu... Gosh!!! It continues speeding up and overheating... I'm very sad about that! Every time I try to use Linux... I get a diferent hardware issue related to incompatibility or bugs! When it's not graphic driver it is bug elsewhere unimaginable!!!

If there is a solution for this... I wonder if someone could spend some time helping me out because... I have JUST bought this notebook because it is in the list of Certified Hardware: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201012-6931/

So this is sad and somehow disgusting!

Linux is going for the wrong way! It's never gonna be popular while doesn't have so wide hardware support like WIndows!

That's a pitty!

It's very likely I won't get answered meanwhile I will switch back for windows!

I prefer paying my Windows License and having a fully working system than having a free open source software that is about to explode my notebook or toast my hands before!

So you linux wonderful guys help! I need somebody help (beattles so I won't cry)
