So, I have this very weird problem on my #linux #desktop machine (running #Bazzite based on #fedora :
Every Monday morning my #SSD gets hammered with reads for about 10 – 20 minutes to a point where the system is unusable for that time. I can see this in Resources (the disk activity is 100%) but I cannot figure out what is doing this. KDE System Monitor, btop, Resources don't show anything that is unusual.
Any ideas?

Thank goodness I didn't throw away my Pixel 6a box.
