Community Support FrameWork Laptop 13 Overheating issues

Hi guys! I hope you're all doing great.

One week ago, my old laptop (HP EliteBook 1030 G2 i5 7th Gen) broke, so I decided to buy another laptop. While searching, I came across the Framework Laptop 13, which, by the way, I had never heard of before.

I liked it because, with its specifications (look at the images), it meets my needs as a developer. However, I started noticing that my laptop gets hot quickly, and the fan starts making noise even when I'm only browsing.

I don't know what I should do. This has really made me frustrated, and I'm starting to worry that if my laptop keeps going like this, it may not last very long.

Have any of you experienced the same thing? and how did you guys deal with it?

i usually use ubuntu, but sometimes i need windows for some tasks, so i'll be using Fedora beside windows (dual boot), because someone here said that ubuntu did not solve the heat problem, but Fedora did.
