Bug Description
In Ubuntu 20.04, nautilus depends on tracker:
Depends: tracker
Depends: tracker-miner-fs
Depends: tracker-extract
Depends: libtracker-
Tracker is known for using constantly the CPU, which not only degrade performance but also drain the battery. I have 450G of source code, most git repositories, and tracker-extract has been at 100% CPU for 4 hours already.
There is not even a UI any more to tell tracker to exclude certain directories, so this is a massive regression from 18.04 for anyone having a lot of files in their HOME (millions in my case).
At the very least, nautilus should RECOMMEND tracker instead of DEPEND on it. So we can easily remove the package without uninstalled nautilus and ubuntu-desktop meta package.
