Hello,
I am a beginner to using Linux who just installed EndeavourOS yesterday on my Dell Latitude E7470, and I am experiencing some problems with it.
I have abnormally high cpu usage, with one core being always maxed at 80% or more. The offending process seems to be “kworker/3:2+pm”. I have tried to check the problematic “gpe” ( as per here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/176565/why-does-kworker-cpu-usage-get-so-high/233947#233947 ) but I do not find any value higher than 280 so I assume it is not the problem.
I also found this topic ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=235015 ) where plugging off the laptop apparently fixes the problem. The laptop’s battery I’m using is dead and I am always using it plugged, could that be related ? )
EDIT 1 : I have ran the diagnosis found here (https://askubuntu.com/a/421916 ) and I have a lot of calls related to the USB with no USB device plugged in :

I do have a problem with the usb ports on this laptop. Should I deactivate them and how ?
EDIT : the problem was with autosuspend acting weird. used sudo pluma /etc/default/grub to find the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet resume=UUID=6166665e-0be1-4491-b2e1-7eb5422ff862 loglevel=3 nowatchdog" line and replaced it with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet resume=UUID=6166665e-0be1-4491-b2e1-7eb5422ff862 loglevel=3 nowatchdog usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
Thank your for the help
