From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

When you know it's overheating, you could as well try and remove dust, with some compressed air. It can't hurt.
Edit: Actually there's plenty other that thinks this could be a combo of software and hardware, so my point is still valid.
Check your hardware if you start getting overheating problems.
Sure, but it's not like the dust suddenly appeared when switching to linux, this is a software/driver issue.
Sorry I should have started my comment with a disclaimer that I absolutely know it's a software problem but. It's always prudent to ensure against crud buildup inside the computer.
