This bug is affecting me too on Ubuntu 20.04 on a Macbook Pro 15". Took me several installations and quite some hours to figure out, what the reason for misbehaving and overheating was, should have launched top right away.
For me the workaround with suspending after boot works fine, too. But it is also kind of annoying to suspend once after booting the computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878919 Title: kworker/0:1+kacpid uses 100% of one CPU core Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: At some point, kworker/0:1+kacpid starts using 100% of one CPU's core; this can be seen in the top command.
