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.

Easy to force a tracker reset, or enable disable. Or even reinstall. Seems easier than findinf a new DE no?
Also tracker ahould not be using up so much diskIO or CPU like people mention, if it is it is tripping up on a files internal data, and status/logs will show which file(s)
Oh, I couldn't figure out how to reset or reinstall it so I just went back to kde.(also themeing which I didn't mention)
Thats fair. If you ever go back then at cli typing tracker3 will give a list of commands.
Tracker3 status will give you what it is doing or if it is idle, and notes on files that are troublesome.
tracker3 reset with cetain flags will purge and rebuild index.
You can also set filetypes and folders to index, but that is probably eaaier in dconf-editor settings, under org/freedesktop/tracker/mine/files
I remember I checked it and clicked said waiting for tracker3 or smth.
