Quiet doesn't necessarily mean fanless. I have a Corsair H100i with
Noctua fans, and you can barely tell it's on.
I've put Linux Mint on it (which is what they recommend)
Friends don't let friends use Linux Mint:

Not mentioned above: Linux Mint's upgrade policy is "format and
reinstall". Their update policy is also "If it ain't broke, don't try to
fix it". No wonder they have internal security issues.
Also, I like Cinnamon. (Tried Gnome, the new KDE, Mate and XFCE, don't
like them.) Is Cinnamon available on other distros? -- Andrei
