My fans have been running non-stop on my laptop since I reinstalled Zorin OS 16 Pro. The problem has to do with tracker.
I've tried
systemctl mask [all_tracker_services]
tracker reset --hard
reboot
And, it didn't work, the fans just continue to spin harder since tracker seems to start indexing from scratch.
I've tried adding
Hidden=true
To
/etc/xdg/autostart/tracker*.desktop
Still, tracker continues to index and make my fans run at max speed. This is highly annoying. Please, does anybody know of a way to disable tracker completely? I really do not want to install Windows again just because of some fan problem due to this horrible software
