The Blue Angel #ecolabel is the official #environmental label awarded by the German government.
Now #smartphone apps & client-server systems can be certified as #sustainable 🌻, along with desktop software like #Okular as before. And more!

I would love if KDE allowed clearer disabling of background services.
- accessibility
- xwaylandvideobridge
- gtk global menu support
- geoclue (I think enabled from the GUI but not possible to turn off)
This could reduce energy consumption.
I like how you can strip down KDE plasma!

Don’t forget the file indexing (baloo or ak-… something), I had terrible experience with them in the past.
Yes but that is accessible via
balooctl
or from the gui.balooctl disable
I had very bad experiences too, without using network shares or anything. It shouldnt even scan the system, or hidden files. Maybe it scanned random libraries or distrobox containers or flatpak dependencies or whatever
