Hi, I've tried to learn as much as I can to make my experience with GNU/Linux
the best. So there are a few things I change in my system to make it go
faster.
For example I always change swappiness to 1 in SSD and to 10 in HDD.
Swappiness value controls the Linux kernel’s tendency to swap – that is,
move information out of RAM and onto the swap file on the disk. It accepts a
value between 0 and 100.
0: The kernel will avoid swapping process out of physical memory and onto
the swap partition for as long as possible.
100: The kernel will aggressively swap processes out of physical memory
and onto the swap partition as soon as possible.
As RAM is much faster than drives I prefer to have the less so my experience
is faster. This doesn't apply to servers or computers with little RAM.
But in general it makes my experience faster.
I also tweak Firefox (or libre version as Iceweasel, Icecat or Abrowser) to
don't save cache.
I've always installed preload but I don't really know if I have a real boost.
But I still think it works better than nothing.
On my laptop I always install TLP.
You can read a bit more about how to do those things here:

This are a few things I change in my system, what things do you do?
