I've never heard of this.  I'm not sure, but this seems like something I don't use, at least not explicitly.  Is this something that I can remove from the system, or at least turn off (so it won't use CPU),  Or is this "under the hood" of things I do use?

If you have no idea about it, you're not using it and probably never will.

So, you can just....

sudo systemctl --now disable libvirtd

Without the "--now" you'd have to reboot for this to take effect.

hmmm...  Samuel beat you to it.  I'll very soon be shutting down for the night anyway.

I was unaware of being in any competition.

I read the other reply and saw no mention of using the --now parameter.  So, maybe there was some
added value?


You most likely don't need mdns (Multicast DNS) and can delete that service.  You *may* need dhcpv6-client
to properly configure your IPv6 automatically when the system starts.

How do I delete a service (mdns)?

Along with "systemctl --now disable avahi-daemon"  You should also remove that service from the
firewall.

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --remove-service=mdns
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

Samuel beat you on this systemctl command too.
-bash.4[~]: firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --remove-service=mdns
success
-bash.5[~]: firewall-cmd --reload
success
-bash.6[~]:

Are there prizes for being the quickest to respond.  :-) :-)

There are few lesser things mentioned by others who posted to this thread.  I hope to address those tomorrow.


I pretty much think this topic has been totally addressed and feel there really is no need to go about
tilting at windmills.
