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.
Good to know, thanks. So what should I use then? -- Andrei
I use linux mint on my VMWare install on my mac. It's nice, I like the
interface, and it's easy to maintain.
I have also experienced the "reinstall instead of upgrade" issue. It
wasn't too bad, because it's a VM, most of my documents are shared with
my mac.
But I assumed it was because I waited too long to upgrade. If I was
going to use a full-install for my OS, I guess using something different
would be better.
