Tips for Minimizing Memory USe - Alan C - 06-13-2022 With help from user WytWun (thanks again!) I've got LL 5.8 running on my 2016 2 GB RAM Ideapad. I really like it It's not a big deal, but I'm curious if you have tips for lowering memory use so programs open faster. I can look in TaskManager, but I'm not sure what some of the running processes do, so I hesitate to disable them. I'm not doing much with the laptop beyond office apps, web work, and lightweight apps (hello vim!). I'm not printing, using bluetooth, or anything external to the machine other than wifi. Thanks! Re: Tips for Minimizing Memory USe - Mountain Giant - 06-14-2022 In Lite tweaks you have option to release ram, maybe sometimes use that? Re: Tips for Minimizing Memory USe - Moltke - 06-14-2022 Some services you might disable are: 1. ModemManager.service (unless you use a dial-up connection). 2. If you don't print files over the network, you can disable cups.service and cups-browsed.service. 3. If you don't use snaps, you can disable that one as well as related services. snapd.service, snapd.apparmor.service. You can disable those by launching the terminal and running: Code: sudo systemctl stop name.service Code: sudo systemctl disable name.service Hope this helps! ![]() Re: Tips for Minimizing Memory USe - Alan C - 06-14-2022 Thank you both. I used Lite Tweaks to free memory and also the Firefox cache. And I disabled ModemManager and cups. I wasn't running any snap services, so I didn't disable them. |
