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.

Is it in system settings? I couldn't find it there
It's not. look up "services" in your app launcher
Nothing relevant shows up. Had to go to config files.
really? usually KDE based distros have it preinstalled, in Kubuntu for example there's literally an app called "system services" or "background services" where you can do this. but i'm glad you figured it out
I actually have "background services", but again, haven't found Akonadi mentions there. Probably it was called some other way, and probably it was not present there. Anyway, thanks, this app will be useful with other tasks later.
oh, huh. Maybe it's a SystemD service then, which would be disableable with sudo systemctrl disable akonadi
