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)?

    You can disable it thru the command akonadictl. You can’t remove it easily tho, as a lot of KDE components depend on it. One thing tho is you can make sure it pulls SQLite instead of MySQL or PostgreSQL as its dependency.
