Ah, but you also have to consider the amount of heating and cooling you’re doing. Assuming that you’re comfortable at a normal room temperature of 70F, that’s 30 degrees of cooling from triple digits, but 61 degrees from single.

Ubuntu is good, actually. It has basically the widest out of the box hardware and software support of any distribution, a decent default UI and an easy installer. Its downsides are that it has a reputation as baby’s first Linux so you don’t get any hipster cred and some people don’t like that it uses snap as a package format for some things, including Firefox.
