  • kdevtmpfsi question

    As you see above (top output), kdevtmpfsi consumes 2.3g Ram and a lot of
    CPU (392%).
    What's it then?

    Thank you in advance.

    By all means, investigate further. But a first look seems to suggest
    that it is malware:

    Linux is becoming more and more like windows.
