I notice in the process table of ksysguard these 4 processes:
- evolution-source-registry
- evolution-alarm-notify
- evolution-addressbook-factory
- evolution-calendar-factory
They are all owned by me (the non-admin user), not me (root). I did not knowingly start them. I don't recall installing them, so I'm guessing they come standard with either fedora or Gnome, or one of the other desktop environments. dnf tells me what software dependencies there are, but what about data dependencies? If I "dnf remove evolution", will I mess up anything else because of dependencies that dnf does not know about?
I did "dnf remove evolution". I re-booted and logged back in. When I click "Activities" in Gnome, the evolution icon no longer shows up. But the 4 processes that I listed in my original post for this thread are still there. This seems to confirm what Tom and Samuel each said. So those 4 processes have nothing to do with evolution, right? (Am I understanding Samuel correctly?)
