No, this is something unique to your hardware and the way you installed
Vista. Possibly you forgot to install chipset drivers. Of course if you
don't like Vista, don't use it. And Linux needs drivers just as much as
any other operating system. My Thinkpad ran much hotter with an earlier
version of SUSE than it did with XP Pro because the drivers weren't
optimized. A later version of drivers solved that issue.
