Hot to get rid process tracker-miner-fs on Ubuntu 24.04?

This process indexes filesystem and constantly uses 100% of single core. Sadly we cannot remove this process as whole Ubuntu Desktop environment depends on it but I found trick on Stack Overflow:

sudo chmod -x /usr/libexec/tracker-miner-fs-3

sudo chmod -x /usr/libexec/tracker-extract-3

How to boot Ubuntu 24.04 from Thudnerbolt / USB4 drive

In my case I was able to successful install Ubuntu 24.04 by putting NVME disk inside of PC (as M2) and then putting it into external enclosure with USB4 interface. Unfortunately, it hung during boot and I had to apply following changes found here

Open grub configuration:

sudo vi /etc/default/grub


Then add following:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="thunderbolt.host_reset=0"
And finally apply changes and update grub configuration:
sudo update-grub

After that it will work just fine.

How to fix The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly on Ubuntu 24.04?

Error:

 /cursor-0.45.11-build-250207y6nbaw5qc-x86_64.AppImage 

[33057:0220/125346.022623:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(163)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_cursordjAvFg/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Trace/breakpoint trap

Then I found nice trick:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

It's not perfect but it works
