My journalctl is constantly flooded by these messages.

Using iotop, systemd-journald is constantly writing to the disk, obviously.

What could be the origin of these messages?

Do you have any gnome-shell extensions installed?

Yes, but if I’m not wrong, I tried to disable them all.
The only way to stop such flood is to reboot the system.
But after some hours of work, the problem reappears.

I will need to look better at the logs an see the exact moment when the problem start.

To see what extensions are enabled, run:

gnome-tweaks
