Yo Kid,

Please check this link for solutions, such as how to remove or disable (since Tracker is a dependency for some programs):

Saturday, at the Installfest, despite cautions from Thomas, I installed CentOS on my new computer.

The install went well from the standpoint of reallocating the partitions and getting Grub to recognize both CentOS and Win 7.

When I started working with it I loaded on my files.
Files that took forty minutes to backup took two hours to load on a faster system.
The culpritĀ  seems to be Tracker-miner.

It continues to drag the system down when I am trying to do other things.

I have no idea why I need an application on here to, supposedly help me find files.
In all of the years I have worked with Linux I can think of only three instances where I have used find to locate a file, and it worked nicely, thank you.

Now I have a system that uses all of its resources to track files I will likely never ask for. Grrrrrrrr.

After that the change of Gnome and KDE to eliminate my virtual desktops is unimportant.

Would anyone like to suggest a better distro that will actually run and perhaps has more than four desktops, while running Office Libre, and plays You Tube videos in a browser?
