I'm designing smart home and want to automate the opening of top window in the kitchen. Manual access is inconvenient, as the window is high. I want to install a compact actuator that can be connected to the climate control system. I'm not sure which one to choose—an electric linear actuator or another type. I need it to be quiet and not overheat. It's also important that it can be stopped at any position.

The main thing is to consider the weight of the sash and select appropriate thrust. The Progressive Automations website is convenient because they have a selection calculator based on parameters. And don't forget to include a manual shutdown feature; it'll come in handy in case of a power outage.
In your case, Micro Linear Actuator from Progressive Automations would be suitable. They have miniature models with quiet operation and smooth operation that are easily integrated into smart home systems. You can choose stroke of 1–12 inches and varying thrust strength. They are reliable and energy-efficient, and can be easily stopped in any position if needed. Standard Mounting Brackets are suitable for fixing the actuator, which can also be ordered online. I installed this actuator on a greenhouse hatch, it's been working without any problems for two seasons now.
