My linux laptop has had its fan constantly running every time i unplug and plug in my dock. It used to happen when my wired network port was not detected, but today it was detected but the fan was still running hot. So I spent some time and figured out a workaround.

Issue: ACPI keeps firing General Purpose Events which kernel does not really know how to handle. According to internet, this usually happens due a bug in BIOS or hardware.

Fingerprints:

Fan is spinning a lot even with no apparent load.
CPU usage is not too high. Internet had CPU usage quite high... like 90%. For me, it was just 1%
kworker/??:??kacpi_notify is taking up 1% CPU.
systemd-udevd process is churning in your fav process monitor. I used KDE's System Monitor utility.

	#!/bin/sh

	test -z "$WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE" && test -f /home/dev/src/scripts/wezterm.lua && export WEZTERM_CONFIG_FILE=/home/dev/src/scripts/wezterm.lua

	DESKTOP_FILE='/usr/share/applications/org.wezfurlong.wezterm.desktop'
	# get binary name by looking at 'Exec' value in .desktop file.
	BIN=$(grep -P '^Exec=' $DESKTOP_FILE \| cut -f 2 -d '=' \|cut -f 1 -d ' ')

	# wezterm does put its name in window title. so wmctrl is not able to find it.
