Public bug reported: After installing all updates on my DELL XPS 13 2018, I have the fan making a lot of noise and system heating.
Looking into the processes, Xorg is eating 28% of the CPU, and also update-mime-dat(abase). This is now a frequent problem and it's eating the battery and slowing down other applications.
