• Is Your GNU/Linux System Bloated? Check This.

    From Farley Flud@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 30 10:17:33 2025
    The average GNU/Linux distro enables, against the knowledge and will
    of the user, many, many services (i.e. daemons). These services needlessly consume system resources.

    The following article shows how to control your system, if you don't know
    how to already (and you probably don't).

    Of course, the main culprit, again, is the abominable systemd.

    Systemd, and its creators/maintainers, should be... I won't say it.

    On my hybrid Gentoo/LFS customized and optimized GNU/Linux I have
    only one single solitary service running and that is udevd, but even
    that is not strictly necessary.

    Check how many services that you have running and prepare for a shock.

    Brother, if you ain't using Gentoo/LFS then you need to be growing
    tunips in a re-education camp.

    Please, oh please, I don't want to grow tunips.

    Of course, once again you proved that what you are fighting against is
    very good. With systemd, you can know what has been started and why. If
    it's running, you can know why, if it's not running, you can know why
    too.

    When sysvinit launch things and don't care about it after that. So, when
    you are sure sysvinit launches something at start and that something
    isn't running when you are looking for it, you have no idea why.

    Systemd, and its creators/maintainers, should be... I won't say it.

    No, you can't because it would be a good thing and you can't acknowledge
    good things.

    On my hybrid Gentoo/LFS customized and optimized GNU/Linux I have
    only one single solitary service running and that is udevd, but even
    that is not strictly necessary.

    Yes, I know, the only thing you can do with Linux is compile your
    kernel. And it fails more often than not.

    Check how many services that you have running and prepare for a shock.

    I don't need you to know what's running on my computer. I have more
    services on my computer than you on your computer. It's not a surprise
    because unlike yours my computer is usable. Some services launched by Ubuntu/Mint are useless in most of the cases, agreed, but I'm not
    running Ubuntu/Mint.
