    Gnome is a harmless though. It’s so benign it’s reliable.

    KDE is glossy and featureful and sometimes my CPU fan doesn’t go down for whole hours because baloo is scanning my entire filesystem (including various conda installations) despite me repeatedly asking it not to.

      Baloo only takes up a lot of CPU if you have it set to index file contents and hidden files. Shut those off, let it index completely, and it won’t happen ever again.

      You might be able to keep “hidden files” on, but indexing file contents always bogged my laptop down.
