"kworker" processes carry out background activity in the kernel. It's normal for them to use a varying %age of the CPU time depending on what you're doing. > In doing some research online and with the help of two different AI > apps, [...] "AI" apps make up answers that look plausible, particularly to non- experts. They can't be trusted to actually diagnose problems. So, I have some questions for you: - Are you seeing an actual problem here? For example, is an application much slower with this kernel version, or does the system consume significantly more power? - If the answer is yes, use "reportbug -N 1121192" to add system information to this report.
