EDIT TO MAKE THE SOLUTION CLEARER:
Go to this website Temporary fix for ACPI (GPE iinterrupts) failure , disable GPE6f interrupts, probably motherboard faulty ACPI implementation (reflash/update BIOS) [[!!You should take action!!]]. Install this in /usr/lib/systemd/system and run systemctl enable disable_gpe6F · GitHub and create the empty file in the directory indicated, giving it the name disable_gpe6F.service.
When you are done, open the Konsole and pastesystemctl enable disable_gpe6F.
IF your problem is the same as mine THEN you are DONE.
Please first read the post and the user’s “Solution” for a proper diagnosys.
I don’t really got much to say.
On this machine, Core_1 (out of 4) gets hammered by kworker/0:0, kworker/0:1, kworker/0:3 (and their varians with stuff like +kacpid written after the last number) even when just booted, in an idle state.
I google’d to hope to find some kind of fix, but I didn’t get lucky.
I tried editing Grub settings with the acpi_mask_gpe=0x06 that I kept seeing, but nothing.
I tried changing ACPI settings in the BIOS and whatever, and that too did nothing.
I am VERY LUCKY that I don’t need this PC at all for now, but the lack of BOTH information online and thus also easy fixes described in easy guides is very irritating.
Could anyone please link as much info as they can about this issue, and also a fix please?
I am willing to re-try even the same stuff to better document it, because DAMN there’s NOTHING online!

Also I’m switching PC for now to use the TV with YouTube (I am not burning my CPU to watch memes), and if that one also has the same issue I’ll just write another message below here…
