Public bug reported: After booting and logging in, it takes a long time for the computer to settle down and become properly usable. Heaving hard-disc activity by gnome-software which lasts for over a minute. This is revealed by `iotop` as the only application with around 99% of the disk access.
This is a serious problem on single-disk machines as programs can't properly start until it's over. The program appears to be present in Startup Applications with the command `/usr/bin/gnome-software --gapplication-service`, even for the guest user.
