Linux Tweaker Lite

Linux Tweaker Lite is designed to be a user-friendly, resource-efficient application that allows users to fine-tune their Linux systems for optimal performance. It targets common performance bottlenecks related to memory and CPU usage, providing a simplified interface for adjustments that would otherwise require command-line expertise.

Key Features:

Memory Optimization:
Swap Management:
Adjust swappiness values to control how aggressively the system uses swap space. (e.g., swappiness=10 for less aggressive swapping).
Disable swap entirely (with appropriate warnings).
Display current swap usage and configuration.
Cache Management:
Clear memory caches (page cache, dentries, inodes) with a single click.
Provide insights into memory usage breakdown.
Transparent Huge Pages (THP) control:
Enable/disable THP.
Adjust THP settings.
CPU Optimization:
CPU Frequency Scaling:
Allow users to switch between CPU frequency governors (e.g., performance, powersave, ondemand).
Display current CPU frequencies and governor.
Process Priority Management:
Easily adjust the priority (nice value) of running processes.
Display CPU usage per process.
Kernel Parameters:
Provide a simplified interface to modify relevant kernel parameters that affect cpu performance.
System Monitoring:
Real-time display of CPU and memory usage graphs.
Overview of system information (kernel version, distribution, etc.).
Display of running services, and the ability to start and stop services.
User-Friendly Interface:
Intuitive graphical interface (GUI) for easy navigation.
Clear explanations of each setting.
Predefined profiles for common use cases (e.g., gaming, development, power saving).
Undo/Reset option, to revert changes.
Lightweight Design:
Minimal resource footprint.
Fast startup and execution.
Written in a efficient language, such as C/C++ or Rust, with a lightweight GUI framework.
Cross-Distribution Compatibility:
Support for popular Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and Arch Linux.
Package management integration, to install and uninstall easily.
Benefits:

Improved system responsiveness and performance.
Reduced memory and CPU usage.
Enhanced battery life on laptops.
Simplified system optimization for non-technical users.
Increased control over system resources.
Example Use Cases:

A gamer wanting to maximize CPU performance.
A developer needing to free up memory for resource-intensive tasks.
A user experiencing slow system performance due to excessive swap usage.
A user wanting to maximize battery life on a laptop.
Technical Considerations:

Requires root privileges for certain operations.
Careful implementation to avoid system instability.
Thorough testing on various Linux distributions.
Providing clear warnings and documentation for all actions.
