Comment 51 for bug 1385641

On Linux Mint have just encountered issue and confirmed is urfkill on 27/05/2018. Fan going nuts, cpmputer at a crawl, 'top' showed 100% CPU from urfkilld.

I suspected something was off for quite a while. I believe the this softwarealso led to a number of crashes and loss of unsaved data.

Whatever else happens, no software should be designed to hog resources like that. Productivity is the most important thing so why on earth is Linux still dependent on such poorly coded software?

This is exactly the type of thing that makes people run far away from Linux.

As urfkill is clearly not well built with the same issue since 2014, excuse my language but what did we lose if we uninstall this crap?
