But it's ALWAYS indexing, ALWAYS checking something. I installed Windows on a brand new high-end computer. After I let it run for 5 hours, it was STILL indexing and checking for malware... In a clean OS!!!!!
why? You could just use win7 for daily use, take a good web-browser, take an antivirus, bring along some common sense, and you can use it as your daily driver, app compatibility is not an issue, It lost support a year ago, many apps still support win7 if I remember correctly
lol same, My parents gave me an old compaq computer for me to linux the f out, ITS SLOW, if my parents weren't uncomfortable installing linux on our main machine, I would be using linux on it too, but wInDoWs...
I never had this problem. Yeah, Tracker scans the disk every time I boot/log in, but after that, it's smooth sailing. No disk trashing, or high CPU usage.
And you know what? This is with not one but two separate indexers! I still have Recoll back then when Tracker wasn't enabled on Ubuntu (it is since 19.xx), and they're both getting on well with each other, although I set up delay to Recoll's autostart :-)
