Funny how some people reacted to daemons of locate-like indexers:

Well, when the default install basically screws your system ...

I'm a bit like that - my grief was with Akonadi, I think the longest I waited to log in was about 36 hours, I ended up installing xfce in order to get a usable system.

(That 36 hours - that wasn't "login until usable desktop", it was "login until I killed the system in frustration". For someone who uses their PC as a desktop, ie switch it off every night, login times like that just aren't acceptable. Well, they're not acceptable full stop, but ...)

Cheers,
Wol

Tracker is obnoxious. People have been asking for a simple way to disable it for years.

Trackers index file *contents*, not just the file names. That’s at least magnitude heavier than what locate does.
