I wonder if these heat problems occur running Linux
distros (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc...)?

I can’t try it (no laptop).

My guess would be yes as it is a driver issue, it probably just occurs at a smaller rate due to the nature of most linux distro’s not being graphic intensive on their desktop like Vista, however the internet is the internet no matter what OS it is on.
