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)?
It’s using your data locally on your machine. If you don’t trust one of the biggest open source projects in the community, perhaps computers is not your thing. :D
I do not need this particular feature anyway. Neither locally, nor in a cloud. But I’m not given the opportunity to know about it and turn it down straightforwardly. It works silently, it can be only discovered via process monitor, and the only way to turn it down is digging into the terminal, as if I didn’t have a graphical environment suite from one of the biggest open source projects in Linux community installed.
