In this video I cover a method of potentially speeding up the application loading times on Linux using the Preload Daemon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(software)
Preload is similar to SuperFetch in Windows that sits in the background, analyses your application usage, and then based on a report loads the applications you use most frequently into memory.
The idea is that by pre-loading applications into memory, they have the potential to load quicker.
Preload can be installed from almost all distributions repositories using a package manager.
For example, on Ubuntu based distributions using a GUI software store or the following Terminal command:
sudo apt install preload
#preload #linux #performance
