hmm strange, maybe some applet but when I was using it on my 3rd gen i7 laptop it never went silent and the CPU usage could spike to even 20% when idle

Maybe something wrong with the GPU in your setup?

I could see kwin using a lot more CPU if the compositing fell back onto software rendering instead of hardware rendering

3rd gen i7 is outdated

Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack

I’d go with some applet as the culprit. I use a Haswell i7 laptop and it’s quiet

I run Plasma 5 on a 2nd gen i7 laptop and it’s idling just fine and quietly most of the time with no such spikes unless I have several apps running, including a web browser with a plethora of tabs.
