Debian vs Fedora vs Ubuntu [on hold]

I want to switch to Linux on my Levono L430 (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.6GHz; 16 GB RAM; Samsung SSD 840 Series 250GB). I already tried Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS and both seem to be very unstable (see unacceptable overheating issue for hardware which is older than 5 years). The same hardware is running on Windows 7 & Windows 10 without any issues.
I heard that Linus Torvalds is using Fedora. I just wanted to know which of two potential future distros Debian or Fedora is the most stable one for my hardware. I would also appreciate any source that explains how to resolve the overheating issue on my device.

I can share my experience, I have used Fedora and Ubuntu for long time, on dell e4300(If I'm correct it was released on 2009, C2D 4gbs and ssh 120 GB inside.
Fedora was more stable that Ubuntu for me. I decided to move to Ubuntu because of Wifi, drivers wasnt autodiscovered which in result lead to update/upgrade without internet connection I had to install everything from beggining it was simply annoying.
So I moved to ubuntu, and well i still have issues. Wifi works like 5 % sla ..., machine hang very often, i feel that I'm ran out memory, and sometimes it happens that I have some kind(it's bug/artifact) of blinking curtain that stick to my coursor it caver all screen under cursor.
I like Ubuntu but overall on my hardware fedora did better with performance and was more free of trouble.
And for overheating, you need to disasembly your machine and simply change thermal grease. Also clean cooler with compressed air(do not let it turn cooler, you have to stop it)

Thank you for your answer. So even Fedora is unstable. Did you think about switching to Windows? @overheating: That does not make sense to me because Windows is running on the same hardware without any issues.

No, because I use my laptop for learning programming and I find linux more comfortable for that purpose. In my opinion Fedora was more stable than Ubuntu is now. And for oveheating, if you never did that you will not regret. Aside of it you may check if there is any process that eats your resources ' ps -aux ' or use htop for that ' sudo apt-get install htop '

I compared Fedora and Ubuntu Debian about of Year. Like for me it possible have troubles on both systems. I like Ubuntu because it have a biggest community. When i trying Debian and Fedora for stability, i noticed that in the end I convert all operating systems turn over and over into Ubuntu again. I add new and unstable repos to another "stable" OS.
