Windows Optimization Tips
Here are some of my top Windows optimization tricks: turning off hibernation, relocating pagefiles, and more. Let me know if you want more details!
Running on a low-end system feels like a real struggle. Upgrading to medium or high performance settings helps, but it’s not worth the hassle. On more capable machines, enable process scheduling for better apps and turn off page files to save space. Make sure your display settings are optimized for efficiency.
Review each configuration option and turn them on or off as needed.
Avoid changing page file settings; they often create more issues than they solve. Follow Enderman’s advice—navigate to Settings panels and adjust everything there. Then open Folder Options, change the default folder to "This PC", display file extensions, turn off Quick access for recently used files and frequently used folders, and disable sync provider notifications. On my Surface, I performed a registry edit related to hardware settings, while on the desktop it was mostly sufficient.
Debian truly benefits low-end systems, not bloated alternatives like Bloatbuntu or the chaotic 'Everything is forked' Mint. Most of the time I agree with that.
but mint adapted the original debian repos, branched off gdm2 to create 'mdm' (mint display manager), they didn’t rely on half the upstream contributions and swapped the existing mdm package—often a key dependency—for their own 'display manager' solution, and they skipped releasing security bulletins.
