          “more” allows you to view files. And agreed, if used incorrectly, might cause extra CPU. Generally mistakes like this just become memory hogs.

            Thank you after reading the comments i am relieved: I had saved a 3 page fully worded .odt as as .fodt and opened it with a text editor; but then again all the files had been closed and i deleted the file in question a at least 30 mins before i noticed the process; regardless thank you

    Maybe? It could be numerous things. Are you using containers? Did an update or upgrade fail? Did you install and or patch something? Anything in sys logs giving off ERR or WARN? What’s your system and distro? What was the last few things you did before this popped?
