Hi Daniel and thanks for your answer. First of all I removed the "xserver-xorg-video-intel" package, but I still need an /etc/X11/xorg.conf configured as described here [1] (replacing "intel" with "modeset") to make lightdm or gdm3 start a session. Without it, it simply don't start. Is this expected or do I need to apply some sort of trick to make X start?
About the over heating, I installed CPUFreq [2] and things improved a lot, mainly under Gnome on which fans are silent the most of the time, Cinnamon still lacks somehow because of some sort of missing full integration. The journal.txt I've attached to this comment comes from a Cinnamon session, hope this helps somehow. I'm open for any kind of suggestions and tests. Thanks!
