This article should not be limited to Ubuntu. I've done almost everything described here already on my Arch system. The only difference is that you need to change the command for the package manager. 🙂
Note: Only use preload if you have at least 8GB of RAM.
Thanks for the feeback, Shrijal!
I've made a few edits to the post.
Preload does require a lot of RAM. I was not sure if I should include it, since the other tools were focused on things like optimizing RAM usage, but I did. I'll add a note like you suggested.
Now, that is already much better. Hey, that’s so kind of you to mention my work. Keep growing, buddy! 😇
Your work is awesome and deserves to be mentioned!
Thanks for the kind wishes. 🙂
Thanks for the insight!
Is this addressing me or Shrijal?
I think Shrijal was quite insightful. 😁
Hmm... Both are insightful!
😃
Cool, i use Manjaro, do you think it will work on my OS?
My device is pretty small, how do i find how much ram it has?
You could use the above command to get the amount of RAM you have in GB. If you want to view it in KB, remove the pipe output to the
awk
command.It is distro-independent, so you should be able to use this command in any other distros. If you want to view it in a TUI, you could use something like btop. 👀
Wow, thank you!
I've never heard of Manjaro (My knowledge of Linux Distros is rather narrow).
Do you know what package manager it uses?
Manjaro is based on arch, so it should be using the same old pacman. 👾
Ah, got it.
Great post to bookmark!
Awesome, glad you enjoyed!
Nice, I like ZRAM
Thanks Rob! I'm glad the post was useful.
