What's the best way to optimize a GNU/Linux system without recompiling the kernel...

What's the best way to optimize a GNU/Linux system without recompiling the kernel? There's no excuse for a computer running nothing but a window manager to take up ~120MB of RAM.

install cloveros

Just install Solus, the whole OS including the DE uses only 350MB ram on my pc.

But if you're ram limited then switch to something like tiny core with a window manager.

>GNU/Linux
It's just Linux you dumb retard.
also, quit posting 3dpd to attract attention
finally, fuck off.

I'm explicitly talking about things that aren't the kernel. How the fuck is it just Linux?
>quit posting 3dpd to attract attention
I'll post 2D to attract attention then faggot.

Shill Nye the Financed Guy over here.

And how the fuck is it GNU/Linux when GNU is less than 6% of any Linux distro? Shouldn't it be RedhHat/Linux since RH writes like 60%+ of the code?

Also, kernel is called "Linux kernel" and Linux is the OS.

>Linux (pronounced /ˈlJnəks/ (About this sound listen) LIN-əks[9][10] or, less frequently, /ˈlaJnəks/ LYN-əks[10][11]) is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux kernel,[12] an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds.[13][14][15]

Now go back to sucking RMS's shit-encrusted dick.

...

I'd like to interject for a moment, what you're referring to as GNU/Linux is in fact musl/busybox/clang/Linux, or as I'd like to call it, code that doesn't need to be printed out and burned.

If you want to use less RAM, use programs which require less RAM. For example you could use JWM or FVWM as your window manager.

google what services which run by default on you're distro are safe to shut down.

OpenBSD doesn't have this problem. systemd/linux is bloated

...

nice feet

I don't even know what I'm looking at

>You will NEVER touch the bare skin of a girl like that
kill me senpai

>install meme shit
no thanks

but who is she?

me

kum /sbin/daemon

fug
I accikdently had the sex with her
right now

>she
First day on Sup Forums?

nah. but if she had a dick I'd still fuck. If i could

Source based distros can do it, like Source Mage.

killall -9 X

holy shit
sauce

>GNU is less than 6% of any Linux distro
Source? You can't. Checkmate.

fucking lurk the thread before making stupid posts you dip

That's no fucking sauce, just a album with some images. It doesn't even mention the girl's name

that's all there is you idiot

everytime I go on Sup Forums I find something to fap to
seems to not be the original purpose

oh trust me
it's pretty normal

IT JUST CAN'T BE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

Im guessing you didnt compile on that. Is the process of offloading the compilation tough? Do you notice actual improvements vs a binary based system?

>java 6%
>kde 8%
Those are some pretty big implications you're making there.

Installing macOS

>pedrocr.pt/text/how-much-gnu-in-gnu-linux/

And how much of a modern Ubuntu is systemd and friends?

that's the `other'

I'm actually liking it. How do I add new Wifi connections? (I'm using i3)

Use bunsen or lubuntu or debian with lubuntu or arch

DELET THIS

Sauce pls

moar???

Because GNU/Linux is the result of Stallman being incredibly butthurt that Linux as a whole supplanted what he was trying to do.

sauce?

Finally, someone said it.
It's literally only RMS who ever said that, Linus never agreed.

>window manager
which one

do all nip girls have this kind of "baby fat" skin?

*marble

it's fucking amazing, isn't it?

Image manipulation.

i mean how loose(?) it is not color

some people literally have "perfect" skin though

You're pretty naive if you don't think these types of images aren't doctored somehow.

they are, obviously, and there's makeup in play also
but the skin doesn't have to be too far edited to look like that, some people literally look like that

I used to hook up with a girl from my class
blonde with skin as white as a swan and I spend ages trying to find imperfections on every inch of her body, even veins didn't show through it

>skin as white as a swan
was she a corpse

corpses aren't really white user, they are plain and the color of bruises

you seem to know a lot about corpses

I've seen my fair share of death faggit, go fuck one if youre into such shit

>unrelated pic

That's a cute boy.

I had the "pleasure" in 2015 to have to work on a P4 machine.
Surprisingly it was somewhat possible to be productive. Their setup was: LMDE with the bare minimum installed. Openbox as VM plus Tint2 as taskbar. Total memory usage of the system: 30-50mb.

Currently I am on a similar setup: Mint 18,2, openbox and tint, but tons of background services activated. Total Memory usage: less than 1GB.
