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


Do you use WinBoat? Because this is exactly how my WinBoat Windows VM presents using top. htop shows the qemu-system command, and btop shows both.
OP may have some confusion about what dual-boot means. WinBoat running in the background is the best plausible explanation for this, IMO.
Yeah, it’s almost certainly a VM.
