Did not know either.
"Tracker is installed by default with Ubuntu 19.04. Tracker is a filesystem indexer, metadata storage system and search tool"
So no real privacy issue here or anything. But load on the system may be annoying. Boloo should be the KDE equivalent and I don't like it.
PS: Yes, this stuff can be annoying: " It wasn't installed by default until now due to performance concerns, but those issues seem to have been resolved."
- eitland 7y agoIsn't the KDE equivalent named Baloo?
- commoner 7y agoYes. https://community.kde.org/Baloo https://community.kde.org/Baloo
- jayalpha 7y agoYes, and it is annoying. For finding stuff I use recoll. Not sure if baloo has also other uses.
- zanny 7y agoIts not that annoying because you can go into the Search settings page of system settings (or just search for "search" in any of the various launchers) and turn it off with a checkbox.
- _bxg1 7y agoUnfortunate name
- jandrese 7y ago> PS: Yes, this stuff can be annoying: " It wasn't installed by default until now due to performance concerns, but those issues seem to have been resolved." Even more annoying if by "solved" they mean "everybody has SSDs now so we don't care". Windows 10 does that and it can become extremely painful to use on old spinning disks. I've seen machines where average seek times go over 1 second because Windows won't leave the damn disk alone after a few updates.
