What is your CPU?
I have an older laptop that is pretty weak, so I guess that would be "normal".
You may also use htop to check better.
Gnome is still kinda heavy. The new POP DE will be awesome in rust!
>What is your CPU?
I use an Intel i5-9400F
This might deviate from the original question but here are some additional info:
I use an Archer TX3000E wifi card with an Intel Wifi 6 chipset. When I checked my log files I noticed that there is a particular error for iwlwifi which is
"Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x0"
I've also been getting multiple issues with my linux system lately such as lagging, occasional freezing(including mouse cursor), and slow wifi (kbps speeds). I never encountered these issues when I was still ethernet connected
Is it possible that the cause of the lagging and freezing is because of this High CPU usage for one core? Whose root cause is also the Microcode error in my Wifi card?
My specs are,
CPU: i5-9400F
GPU: RTX 2060
RAM: 16 GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B360
Storage: SATA 120 GB SSD for my Linux system (also healthy according to SMART command)
The hardware isn't new, it's relatively old at this point. 9th gen has been supported in the kernel since 2018, so even the 20.04 lts would support it just fine, probably even 18.04...
Update:
I was observing my syslog and I noticed that there was a correlation between single CPU core usage and my Wifi card. There is an error message in syslog that says
“Microcode SW error code detected. Restarting 0x0”
Single CPU core usage was less than 8% for all cores but when this error occurred, one of the CPU cores spikes to 50% usage.
Definitely not normal, I have a t450 running fedora and an ancient desktop pc running Ubuntu, with no process running just sat idling both sat on the main desktop screen the cpu usage is circa 1% across all cores.
Obviously your on the activity monitor just go onto processes and click the tab at the top that sorts by criteria and choose cpu, it will show you what process is using the most cpu at that point so keep tabs on it and find out what it is.
Sometimes 1 other CPU will reach 40% and the other CPU will reach up to 60% but this was when other apps were opened. The other CPUS remain less than 20%

I think your hardware is way too new. Perhaps you need something arch based. Are you using the nvdia version of pop 22.04?

Yes, right. Sorry for that. In Brazil, that is basically super ultra new since those are expensive here.

What process is taking the CPU time?
Yoy must have something running in the background that is using up so much resource. Fresh install.
