From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you check if there is high load when the fan spins up?
Yep, I think the load should be pretty low since only firefox is running with 0~1 tabs opened.
It should, yes. But is it, actually?
Is there a way to see this? Sorry, I am lost.
You could use the system Monitor, it is built-in.
Ah, it seems to briefly spikes to 100%, then dies down later.
So the fans stay loud even when cpu load is low again?
If not this could just be some kinds of "dust prevention"
Yeah, it stays loud until I change the battery settings.
