Description
I noticed my computer was very heavily under load when the `plocate-updatedb.service` systemd unit was running. While searching whether this database is used anywhere where I'll need it I came across this forum post: https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/updatedb-eats-all-memory-bogging-down-the-system/1445
Excluding the `.snapshots` directory like in the [linked Arch Linux wiki entry](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Snapper#updatedb) made that service take 6 seconds instead of 8 minutes on a high-end laptop. Can we make this part of the default distribution config file? If I understand correctly this impacts every installation which uses snapper which might be a lot? Thanks for considering!
