CPU Manjaro KDE problem

this has been a problem since i switched from pop_os and linux mint, they both worked perfectly fine, had no issues with hardware and stuff, but after i switched to Manjaro, and i think i did everything as it should be done on instalation, as i followed a whole lot of tutorials so i dont f anything up, Manjaro keeps getting me to even 100% CPU for no reason, as shown in the photo

Run htop and see what is causing the CPU usage. Probably baloo is indexing.

ksysguard is now showing lower cpu usage while htop shows 50% using only ksysguard

50% continuously on all cores?

yes, now after a restart its at 1%, but as soon as i open browser, games, even discord or steam, it just goes very high, i never had this problem before manjaro

Yeah but it doesn’t stay that high, only when you start the program right? That’s normal

i don’t feel like its normal, as i said, never had this issue with other linux distros or windows, my ram and gpu is perfectly fine, only cpu going way higher than it should, 100% sometimes for something as simple as a browser or just looking at some videos

can you return

inxi -Fza --no-host
top ( or htop order by %cpu )

i dont know how to copy the results, but currently its showing 150% cpu usage when runing a youtube video on 1080p60fps

could it be a browser issue? im using whale

Just copy the output with your mouse and paste it here in between three backticks ```

It houldnt go over 100%

No give us the output of inxi --full --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

says i got links in my posts when doing a paste here… sorry for being a complete noob, im new to linux, its just manjaro thats f’ing with my cpu, and i dont wanna switch cuz i love it

There are no links in the output of

inxi --full --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host

From the output of htop I can see the CPU usage is about 35% on all cores mostly because of whale which I’m guessing is the whale-browser?

yes. i did some reinstalling of browser, switched to midori, and its alot lower cpu usage on videos, still not happy with the way my cpu is performing, it was way better before manjaro

When I play a video in firefox with my integrated GPU and i5 processor the CPU usage is also about 30%
I wouldn’t worry about it.
