Speeding up my environment

Support Xfce
1

Hello there,

I am a Manjaro new user, coming from Ubuntu, and i really need to say i already love this distro.

However, i think its kind bellow my expectations for system and applications start up velocity.

What is that command to see my system specs?

I would like to post it here for help with system optimization.

yea, i expect things to open when i click on them.
the reality is there’s a lot happening behind the screen.

4

sure it does, but i thought it was meant to be faster than the ubuntu i have installed in a similar notebook. The memory consumption is indeed little, about 550 mb just before plugins and app installation, what already makes me happy

5

if you feel it’s faster you should use that.

  • Do you compare any information which can be determined with tools for example by systemd-analyze?
  • Would you like to measure the software behaviour in more detail?
  • Which differences do you find significant enough in selected environments?
