Linux via USB warming technique Heat management for USB devices
Hey! It sounds like the issue might be connected to how your Linux installation interacts with the USB port and possibly the OS settings. Checking for driver conflicts or overheating components could help clarify if it's a software problem or hardware-related.
You're running Archlinux with Budgie and have an i5-7300HQ processor, 16GB RAM, and a Nvidia 1050 GTX GPU. Let me know what else you'd like to explore!
Linux interacts differently with laptop makers compared to Windows, requiring extra setup steps. It seems Linux may struggle with multiple GPUs in laptops—using one for desktop tasks and another for gaming. You might need to verify whether Linux is relying on your 1050 chip for compositing versus a more efficient built-in GPU. Battery performance is also a common concern; Linux can treat the system like a full desktop, potentially overworking the CPU and GPU. For specific fixes, check the Linux wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/. The USB issue might be related to heat from frequent use, though that’s less likely.
