Honestly if you care about bootup times avoid systemd, Use an init system that can start processes asynchronously. elogind supports this however it's unstable and could cause issues with race conditions. I personally prefer sysV init though it's not for everyone. Another good tip for disks with low IOPS is compression, BTRFS with ZSTD compression (Set to it's default level of 3) does wonders.

[@_Learnix]

Yeah, that is very true! This video was intended for beginners and chiefly beginners who use Linux Mint, so I wasn't going to talk about init systems just yet

[@System64-Fumo]

@@_Learnix compression is nice though, I used to think compression makes things slower but nope, Turns out it makes things faster.

[@_Learnix]

@@System64-Fumo im gonna look into that!

openrc made my system boot up in about 1 and a half seconds so this is factual (at least for me)

[@quickkennedy3226]

Plymouth broke and i remembered this video and now i can get rid of my broken boot screen AND make it boot faster...

[@h-banii]

Me: intentionally slowing down my boot time by playing Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan OP before showing the login screen. We're not the same. (I'm not even joking, I configured greetd+Hyprland to play the song with mpvpaper before loading the login screen with ags.)

[@siz1700]

Whole op? 1min 30sec??

[@h-banii]

@@siz1700 ah you're right, I should've used the 1 hour endurance instead, I'll change it 🦌 (just kidding). Yes, 1 min 30 sec, but it's not that bad since I don't shutdown my pc often

[@shadow_absorber]

browser.cache.memory.capacity -1 actually means it can use unlimited amounts of ram so leaving it as -1 should be fine

[@Destide]

Remove the French language package job done

[@MrPJunior12]

idk, debian trixie with KDE desktop on startup uses ~2,2 gigs of ram out of 16gigs, i think its not that bad, windows at ur machine did the same, but 2 gigs there was 50 % of course

[@binja_]

From my understanding, 'profile' is used to diagnose boot time issues rather speeding up boot times and isn't something you really want to have set all the time.

[@_Learnix]

from a wikipedia page on Linux readahead: "Readahead is a system call of the Linux kernel that loads a file's contents into the page cache. This prefetches the file so that when it is subsequently accessed, its contents are read from the main memory (RAM) rather than from a hard disk drive (HDD), resulting in much lower file access latencies." Lower file access latencies, theoretically lower boot times.

[@neelsb7889]

03:00 using systend? very easy to speed up your Lijux system boot up without messing around with everything you did by just switching to a system ("distro") which uses a decent, simole init (e.g. runit / OpenRC / sysVinit...). Your boot time will be DRASTICALLY improved and you will have way less bloat and less vulnerability risk (e.g. the xz vulnerability only "worked" with systemd, while distros using Unix style init systems as mentioned above were safe).

[@draksolare]

Hi, great video, congratulations, keep making videos like this, what's your cursor term?

[@gabrielkolletalves493]

I think zswap comes enabled by default

[@_Learnix]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Beetlebugoid]

Who cares about saving milliseconds? If you really want quick boot times, use an SSD. Everything else is a whole lot of effort for seconds at very best.

[@_Learnix]

these tips apply to any configuration, its not just milliseconds, lol

[@brunoabad1027]

So not to be an elitist or anything but most of this things you did are the default on arch, mainly because it aims for a minimal system. And most of what you did was disabling features you dont want.

[@_Learnix]

"A long awaited video I'm sure, this is a Linux tutorial video for Linux Mint (and others if they apply) on how to speed up your Linux performance"

Linux could use more resources than Windows, I'd still use it...

[@TheFellerHasAChannelGodDamnIt]

At least those resources aren’t spying on you and advertising

[@bacalhau_seco]

if u install gentoo its gona be faster fr (i use archbtw)

[@nikkis1173]

I have no idea why but for me windows 11 no matter what i did it used 8GB of ram just because it can. I have 16 gb

[@AdroSlice]

Three words. Memory context restore. Everything else has a minor impact on boot times by comparison.

[@Sheikh-sz5gf]

from a google search everything looks like its only for ddr5

[@Sheikh-sz5gf]

learnix, what is the equivalent of profile in gentoo?

[@_Learnix]

i'm pretty sure it would be similar in gentoo if you're using GRUB. I could be wrong though.

[@zanylyf]

mine uses 3.6/3.7 gb in windows why?

“Windows sucks” *also windows not taking hours to optimize*

[@_Learnix]

People actually take very many hours to optimize Windows all the same, lol.

[@bbfh-yt]

1. All linux ditros (out of the box) have better performance than Windows, in the video it's simply a way to squeeze the maximum milliseconds out of runtime. 2. People are very obsessed with optimizing windows, there are countless scripts and custom ISO's for that exact reason that are very popular 3. Don't comment things you have no idea about, wincuck
