[FIXED] Wine heat issues (ChromeOS) (infosec.pub)

When playing any windows game the PC heats up to 90 no matter what it is doing. This doesnt happen a lot on other type of games like Wii or GC games (dolphin flatpak). Is there any solution or do I really need to find out how to disable TurboBoost?

FIXED: I dropped ChromeOS and switched to Fedora. It doesn't heat crazy anymore.

BTW, I switched from ChromeOS to Fedora (so, not using the Crostini VM to run Wine nor Proton). It instantly fixed this issue. I've booted up one of the games I usually ran under Wine and it didn't drive the CPU crazy anymore!
