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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

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

@be4foss
Is there any information on which software is in the works to apply for blue angel label next?

(Also, the css on the website looks broken. header and menu are probably supposed to be centered, no?)
