19 | | -## Features |
20 | | - |
21 | | -- **System Cleanup:** |
22 | | - - Clears package manager caches (supports APT, DNF, and Pacman). |
23 | | - - Removes temporary files from `/tmp` and `/var/tmp`. |
24 | | - - Cleans user caches and truncates older log files. |
25 | | - - Drops system caches for memory cleanup. |
26 | | - |
27 | | -- **Performance Tweaks:** |
28 | | - - Adjusts kernel parameters via `/etc/sysctl.conf` (e.g., `vm.swappiness`, `vfs_cache_pressure`, etc.). |
29 | | - - Changes filesystem mount options to improve performance (adding `noatime,discard` for ext4). |
30 | | - - Configures zRAM for enhanced memory management. |
31 | | - - Applies CPU governor tweaks by setting the CPU frequency scaling governor to "performance". |
32 | | - - Optimizes disk I/O settings (e.g., enabling TRIM for SSDs or setting the HDD scheduler to "deadline"). |
33 | | - - Reduces GRUB timeout to speed up booting. |
34 | | - - Installs additional performance tools such as **preload** and **haveged** to further enhance system responsiveness. |
35 | | - |
36 | | -- **Restore Functionality:** |
37 | | - A built-in restore option lets you revert back to the original system settings if the tweaks are not to your liking, ensuring you can experiment safely. |
38 | | - |
39 | | -- **Logging & Backups:** |
40 | | - Every operation is logged and important configuration files (like `sysctl.conf` and `fstab`) are backed up before changes are applied. This makes it easy to audit adjustments or perform a full restoration. |
41 | | - |
42 | | -- **User-Friendly Menu:** |
43 | | - Comes with an eye-catching, color-coded text menu that provides clear options: |
44 | | - - **Optimize System** – Clean junk and apply performance tweaks. |
45 | | - - **Restore Previous Settings** – Revert your system to its previous configuration. |
46 | | - - **Exit** – Quit the tool. |
