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)?
really? usually KDE based distros have it preinstalled, in Kubuntu for example there’s literally an app called “system services” or “background services” where you can do this. but i’m glad you figured it out
I actually have “background services”, but again, haven’t found Akonadi mentions there. Probably it was called some other way, and probably it was not present there. Anyway, thanks, this app will be useful with other tasks later.
oh, huh. Maybe it’s a SystemD service then, which would be disableable with sudo systemctrl disable akonadi
