Why I Prefer Linux for Coding Projects

Why I Prefer Linux for Coding Projects Discover why Linux is my top choice for coding projects, from speed and stability to powerful developer tools, customization, and better workflow control. When I first started coding seriously, I didn’t think much about my operating system. I used whatever came preinstalled on my laptop and focused only on learning languages and frameworks. But as my projects became bigger and more complex, I slowly realized that the OS I was using was affecting my productivity. After switching to Linux, my entire coding workflow changed for the better. Today, Linux is not just an operating system for me, it’s a core part of how I build, test, and ship code. Freedom and Control That Actually Matters One of the biggest reasons I prefer Linux for coding projects is the level of control it gives me. Linux doesn’t force decisions on you. You decide how your system behaves, what runs in the background, and how resources are used. As a developer, this matters a lot. ...

What to do if your PC is overheating?

 Nowadays computer has become a necessity in every home and office. But sometimes our PC gets very hot i.e. it starts overheating. When the computer gets very hot, it starts running slow, it may shut down suddenly or its parts may also get damaged. In this blog we will know what to do if your PC is overheating and how it can be stopped.

PC is overheating

Why does the computer overheat?

  1. Dust and dirt:
    If dust fills up inside the computer, the airflow stops and the cooling system does not work properly.

  2. Poor ventilation
    If the computer is placed in a location where air cannot flow, heat gets trapped inside.

  3. Bad Fan or Heatsink
    If the processor or graphics card fan isn't working properly or the heatsink is old, the computer overheats quickly.

  4. Heavy software or games
    If you are running many heavy programs or games simultaneously, there is more load on the processor and graphics card, which causes the system to heat up.

  5. Thermal paste drying up
    Thermal paste is applied between the processor and the heatsink which helps in transferring heat. Over time it dries up which reduces cooling.

Signs of overheating

  • fan making loud noise

  • System slowdown

  • sudden computer shutdown

  • Blue screen error (BSOD) appears on the screen

  • Computer feels very hot to the touch

What to do if your PC is overheating?

  1. Clean the dust
    Turn off the computer or laptop and clean the dust inside with a clean brush or air blower. Cleaning the fan and heatsink is especially important.

  2. Correct airflow
    If you have a desktop PC, place it in a place where air can flow around it properly. Use a cooling pad under the laptop.

  3. Check the fan and heatsink.
    If the fan is running at a slow speed or making noise, replace it. Clean the heatsink or get a new one.

  4. Apply thermal paste
    If the computer is old and is overheating, clean the thermal paste and apply new paste. This is a small task that improves cooling a lot.

  5. Correct power settings
    Go to Windows and select 'Balanced' mode or 'Power Saver' mode in the power settings so that the system does not overheat.

  6. Close background programs
    by opening task manager and closing unnecessary programs so that there is less load on CPU and RAM.

  7. Avoid heavy tasks:
    If the PC is old, reduce heavy gaming or video editing tasks.

  8. Update BIOS and Drivers
    Update the motherboard, graphics card, and system BIOS to improve fan and temperature control.

  9. Cooling pad for laptop:
    If the laptop is getting heated frequently then buy a cooling pad of a good brand which comes with an extra fan.

  10. Seek professional service:
    If the problem is not resolved with the above methods, then get it serviced by a good computer technician.

Damage caused by overheating

  • The processor might burn out

  • The motherboard might be bad

  • The hard disk or SSD may have failed

  • Data loss means your files may disappear

  • The computer may crash repeatedly

How to avoid overheating?

  1. Keep your computer in a clean and cool place

  2. Clean the fan and heatsink regularly

  3. Replace thermal paste every 1-2 years

  4. Do not run useless apps in the background

  5. Use a cooling pad or extra fan while doing heavy tasks

  6. Do not keep the computer on for longer than necessary

  7. Get it serviced once every 6 months

Conclusion

 If your computer is getting too hot, do not ignore it. This can be a sign of a major technical problem. By taking timely cleaning, proper ventilation and necessary measures, you can prevent your computer from overheating. This will not only make your system run faster, but will also increase its life.
