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.

  1. How do I completely disable it forever?
  2. 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)?

    Sorry for responding late and not yet to the other comment. Life has been a bit busy. No worries; I’ll get to it eventually.

    Have you ever heard of how Cachy performs?

    CachyOS has basically become the flagbearer of performance on Linux ever since Clear Linux has been discontinued. What’s striking is how easy it is to get there. Additionally, it’s the latest iteration of “Arch, but easy.”. And I’d argue it has superseded the likes of EndeavourOS, Garuda and Manjaro in that regard. What’s more; its trajectory continues to be very promising. Good vibes, overall.
