I regularly kill all daemons in my computer whose name contains the substring "dbus". Never noticed any problem with that, and everything works OK. I don't hate dbus, but I never understood what purpose does it serve, and it just annoys me to see it around.
- deaddodo 6y agoD-bus is a process discovery and communication protocol. It allows processes to universally interact with each other in a high-level manner versus requiring bespoke IPC mechanisms (low-level sockets, signals, shm, etc).
- viraptor 6y agoIf you just kill it without disabling the service it may be restarted both as a dependency when it's needed or immediately after killing. Things like network service discovery, possibly network configuration, screenshots, Bluetooth, IME, and many others use dbus these days.
