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)?
AFAIK, anything more customizable than KDE relies heavy on text configs and scripts. Another level both in customization options and knowledge required. I will come up to that eventually, but for users, who are not ready for such way of configuring, KDE will stay the most customizeable option.
