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

    you dual boot, why would there be a ‘windows’ process running on linux side? this doesn’t make sense. unless there’s some program you use on linux that is named ‘windows’ i’m inclined to believe this is a malware of some sort, maybe a crypto miner if it uses that much resource.
