What I do on systems where I do not use Akonadi – it may even work
well on systems where it is used – is to replace
"akonadi-backend-mysql" by "akonadi-backend-sqlite". That way I get
rid of an additional full blown database process.
I usually also stop Akonadi with
akonadictl stop
And then do
rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
rm -r ~/.config/akonadi
Which processes of Akonadi are using up the CPU? In case it is just a
certain process like "akonadi_indexing_agent", well what I did with this
one is:
chmod 000 /usr/bin/akonadi_indexing_agent
It works.
Do you really not use it? Look at
du -sch ~/.local/share/akonadi/* | sort -rh
If you really do you use it, this should be almost empty beside some
MariaDB journal files.
Note: In case you store contacts in KAdressbook or use a calender with KOrganizer, you actually *use* Akonadi. Akonadi is not just about
storing mails for KMail.

I still believe the end user should not have to do with any of this.
Akonadi is something that drags down the overall good Plasma / KDE
experience unfortunately since more than a decade. I defended it earlier
on. Meanwhile I think it is better to completely replace it.
[...]Yes, totally. Why this abomination cannot be uninstalled without pulling half of KDE out?This is definitely not true.
$ sudo apt purge akonadi-server
The following packages will be REMOVED:Correct.
akonadi-server* kaddressbook* kde-standard* kdepim-runtime* kmail*
knotes* korganizer* task-kde-desktop*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Printing gone. Libreoffice gone. Speech gone. That's what I can see here.No, you should learn to read the apt output before drawing conclusions.

All of them.

Thank you, I will try to block all executables so they never run
again.

KRunner module my trigger starting Akonadi
You mean I can install them manually, and they will stay as manually installed?
So only akonadi-server* kaddressbook* kde-standard* kdepim-runtime*
kmail* knotes* korganizer* task-kde-desktop* will be gone effectively?
Shouldn't I have task-kde-desktop installed to track all packages
required by entire KDE? So my Testing system evolves with changing deps?
I noticed that akonadi services are using 100% of 16-core CPU resources
on my machine. I don't even use Kmail, I use Thunderbird. I'm not even
sure what akonadi is for. I have following packages installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep akonadi | awk {'print $2'}
akonadi-backend-mysql
…
libkf5pimcommonakonadi5abi1:amd64
System is Debian Testing.
How can I get rid of that akonadi, or disable it?
I can't uninstall akonadi-server, because it wants to uninstall with
it:
akonadi-server* kaddressbook* kde-standard* kdepim-runtime* kmail*
knotes* korganizer* task-kde-desktop*
And dozens of libraries.

I was able to uninstall many akonadi packages, including akonadi server,
and installed back (marked as installed manually) LibreOffice, system printing and few other things. Unfortunately akregator which I use (sporadically) still requires a few akonadi packages:
