Is running temperature considered when a machine is added to the 'Ubuntu certified' list?

Solution 1:

It's very difficult to make a direct comparison between one OS and another temperature wise as the programs that collect the data from the temperature sensors in your machine do that in different ways.

For instance two different programs in windows can give different results about the same computer at the same time.

I'm sure that the Canonical testing team would fail a system if it was damaged by running Ubuntu. However they don't know what will happen many month years in to the future.

Even Hardware manufacturers don't know what will happen even when they know what OS will be running on the hardware for example
