How to disable Gnome Tracker?

The usual commands don’t apply to Bluefin, there is no tracker service to act on with systemctl, the thing I can do is tracker3 daemon --kill but then it restarts, how do I permanently disable and possibly remove Gnome Tracker?

EDIT: @j0rge can you help?

No idea, why would I turn this off?

Because it consumes a lot of CPU, RAM and disk space for a benefit not everybody needs, Most users do not benefit at all from file indexers and disabling them is a very common tip for improving performance on a system.

Nothing special in Bluefin for these, they are just handled under user services, not system services.

Entering systemctl --user status tracker then hitting TAB I can see 5 different services. You’ll need to look into what each one does and see which ones you want to mask
