From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anyone else experiencing high CPU and disk load by gnome tracker after upgrading fedora to 39? (lemmy.eco.br)

Just upgraded and the tracker-miner process is taking a constant cpu load of about 15%, and iotop shows a constant disk write that varies between 2 and 11 M/s.

It has been like this for a couple hours and shows no signs of stopping. Is this some expected behavior? Can I disable it? i'm worried about affecting my ssd lifespan.

Just going off how things are setup in the KDE spin, the tracker is what allows you to search and find files on the machine. Disabling it would most likely make it tough to find files. But I'm not familiar with gnome just to be clear. I'd say report it and hopefully someone else can provide better detail.
