Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 20.04, nautilus depends on tracker:
Depends: tracker
Depends: tracker-miner-fs
Depends: tracker-extract
Depends: libtracker-sparql-2.0-0 (>= 1.12.0)
Tracker is known for using constantly the CPU, which not only degrade
performance but also drain the battery. I have 450G of source code, most
git repositories, and tracker-extract has been at 100% CPU for 4 hours
already.
There is not even a UI any more to tell tracker to exclude certain
directories, so this is a massive regression from 18.04 for anyone
having a lot of files in their HOME (millions in my case).
At the very least, nautilus should RECOMMEND tracker instead of DEPEND
on it. So we can easily remove the package without uninstalled nautilus
and ubuntu-desktop meta package.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
