"Windows" process using too much Memory (Dual boot setup)
(thelemmy.club)
When I start my pc, (Nobara 43) Memory is up to 70% usage. I dual boot, but use Windows like 5% of the time. I have a Swap partition (64gb), but it shows 0b usage. Is it safe to kill the windows process? Can anyone shed some light into whats going on? I was starting to think this is sketchy lol
UPDATE: It most likely was a Winboat process that started up every time :p
Yeah it's most likely that! Thanks
you should update the OP with this information
If you want to confirm that, launch one or all of your WinBoat apps. While they are running, run
pidof windows. If that gave some pids, runpstree -sp <pid>. That command shows the parent processes, with their pids, of the<pid>. WinBoat probably should be among the parents of the “windows” process.
