[ARCH] [EASYAF] Use RAM for Firefox and boost performance and decrease drive wear
Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.
After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon
Installed, created config, and enabled service:
systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service
I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.
I'm sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.
You're viewing a single thread.
Is there a specific package I can install to increase my RAM?
No I believe you have to download more RAM actually. But what would I know I'm just a proctologist.
No, this is wrong. I saw this documentary, 'Johmny Neumonic' I think, and it specifically showed a computer scientist increasing his storage and RAM through software, but you need a special device to plug in to do it. I'm sure Best Buy sells it.
Yes! They also showed the amount of RAM was just a guideline and it's possible to "overfill" your RAM!
As a proctologist I recommend against this.
No, you are also wrong and need to rewatch that documentary. Sheer will and determination will allow you to double your RAM.
Also befriending a drugged up DARPA dolphin will be a massive boon too.
No, you are also wrong.
Mount .cache as tmpfs. Rarely needs a workaround for some offenders to XDG spec though.
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zram - a compressed block device in RAM that can be formatted as swap. There are various tools to set it up, maybe your distro already includes one of them. And htop has a meter for it, so you can see how effective the compression is (besides its own zramctl tool).
Nah i think the right way to do it is go to some site (you can Google some) and download some RAM. They even make the link flash so its easy to find. If you need more RAM just download some more
