I’ve discovered Akonadi, a KDE service. As far as I could understand, Akonadi provides “personal information management” and is responsible for some interaction between apps within the KDE ecosystem. To me, it seems to be bloatware. Somebody may use the functions it provides, but I do not. It is just running in background all the time with no use.
- How do I completely disable it forever?
- Have you ever met something else in Linux or it’s ecosystem, that appeared to be bloatware to you (and how did you disable it)?
I disabled KDE once, my life has only gotten better since then.
I think I’m going to start a war against my KDE setup. I can’t even disable bluetooth automatically launching at startup. Well, actually, I could. I had to modify a very-down-to-the-bottom line in some config. But it’s definetly not okay for such a huge DE to make you edit basic settings like this in configs. I always thought simplifying tasks like this was the reason for DEs to exist.
Insanely strong opinions about software YOU chose to use everyday. I’d move to something else with no “bloatware” instead.
I chose KDE, I’m choosing to struggle with it (a very good way to learn Linux deeper btw). What’s the problem?
