I have just uograded from Linux Mint 20.1 to 20.2. When I checked the processes with my System Monitor I found about 9 0ut of 10 processes were in sleeping mode. Is this normal?
Thanks for any responses.

Most of my processes are "sleeping". Is this normal?

The only sense in which it's not normal is that it would if you displayed any and all processes generally be 99 out of a 100. As in, yes, sure, and this would've been no different on 20.1.

Hi Rene
Great - glad to see it is normal.
Thanks very much!

Which kernel ?
With 20.1 I see that after working on my internet browsers for a long time when I want to use a Libre Office Calc opened sheet it takes a very long time to have it to respond

Re: Most of my processes are "sleeping". Is this normal?
That's not related to process state though; you have in your case undoubtedly simply swapped out LibreOffice Calc while letting your browser(s) gobble up all free memory. It's also unrelated to kernel: if you have different behaviour on 20.1 than on <something else> you will likely be experiencing a memory leak on 20.1; some process / browser growing too large.

Before you open calc the next time open the System Monitor/Resources and
monitor the ram and swap usage as you open calc

I think I ve had this with 20.0 too, but not previously with 19.3, never, even not a beginning of thisrene wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 18, 2021 12:22 pm

Re: Most of my processes are "sleeping". Is this normal?
I've noticed some (cinnamon-, I believe) memory leak reports here on the forum with 20.x; 20.0 certainly and if I'm not mistaken, none with 20.2. I'll admit I'm not in fact even sure whether or not on Mint Cinnamon updates to the same version on 20 or 20.1 as it would on 20.2; would expect so but certainly if not, upgrading to 20.2 might be good.
FWIW, I on 20.2 show
