# Enhanced System Optimization Scanner

## 🎯 **Additional Scanning Opportunities Implemented**

### **1. Extended Browser Support**
Now scans for additional browsers:
- Microsoft Edge (`~/.cache/microsoft-edge`)
- Brave Browser (`~/.cache/brave`) 
- Opera (`~/.cache/opera`)
- Vivaldi (`~/.cache/vivaldi`)

### **2. Development Tool Caches**
**Node.js/JavaScript:**
- NPM cache (`~/.npm`) - Can be 1GB+
- Node modules and build caches

**Python Development:**
- pip cache (`~/.cache/pip`) - Python packages
- Virtual environment caches

**IDE/Editor Caches:**
- VS Code (`~/.vscode`) - Extensions and workspace cache
- JetBrains IDEs cache (can add later)

### **3. KDE/Plasma Desktop Environment**
**KDE-Specific Caches:**
- Baloo indexer (`~/.cache/baloo`) - File search index (500MB+)
- Plasma shell cache (`~/.cache/plasma*`) 
- KRunner cache (`~/.cache/krunner`) - Application launcher
- KDE system cache (`~/.cache/ksycoca5*`)
- GPU shader cache (`~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache`) - Important for gaming!

**Smart KDE Detection:**
- Automatically detects KDE/Plasma environment
- Creates dedicated tmpfs mount for KDE caches
- Sizes tmpfs appropriately based on profile

### **4. Enhanced tmpfs Mount Structure**
```
/tmp/tmpfs-cache/
├── browser/        # All browser caches
├── ide/           # Editor/IDE caches  
├── packages/      # Package manager caches
├── thumbnails/    # File manager thumbnails
├── development/   # Development tool caches (npm, pip, etc.)
└── kde/          # KDE/Plasma specific caches (if detected)
```

## 🚀 **Future Enhancement Opportunities**

### **High-Priority Additions**

**1. Gaming Optimizations:**
```bash
# Steam and gaming caches
~/.steam/steam/appcache
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/shadercache  # GPU shader cache - CRITICAL!
~/.cache/lutris
~/.cache/wine
```

**2. More Development Tools:**
```bash
# Container systems
~/.docker/              # Docker user cache
~/.cache/podman        # Podman cache
/var/lib/docker/tmp    # Docker build cache

# Build systems
~/.gradle/caches       # Gradle cache (Java/Android)
~/.m2/repository       # Maven repository 
~/.cache/go-build      # Go build cache
~/.cargo/registry      # Rust cargo cache
```

**3. GNOME Desktop Environment:**
```bash
~/.cache/gnome-shell   # GNOME Shell cache
~/.cache/tracker       # GNOME file indexer
~/.cache/evolution     # Email client
~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0 # Media framework
```

**4. Package Manager Extensions:**
```bash
# Universal package managers
/var/lib/flatpak       # Flatpak apps (can be GB!)
/var/lib/snapd/cache   # Snap packages
~/.local/share/flatpak # User Flatpak apps

# Distribution-specific
/var/cache/pacman/pkg  # Arch Linux
/var/cache/yum         # RedHat/CentOS  
/var/cache/dnf         # Fedora
/var/cache/zypper      # OpenSUSE
```

### **Advanced Features to Consider**

**1. Intelligent Profile Detection:**
- Gaming profile: Detect Steam, shader caches
- Development profile: Detect IDEs, build tools
- Media profile: Detect video editors, large media caches

**2. GPU-Specific Optimizations:**
- NVIDIA shader cache optimization
- AMD graphics cache handling
- Intel integrated graphics optimizations

**3. SSD-Specific Features:**
- SSD wear leveling considerations
- TRIM optimization
- Temporary file placement strategies

**4. Network-Based Optimizations:**
- Download cache consolidation
- Torrent client cache management
- Browser download folder optimization

## 📊 **Current Implementation Benefits**

### **Smarter Detection:**
- Scans 6 browsers instead of 3
- Detects development environment automatically
- KDE environment awareness
- More accurate cache size calculations

### **Better Recommendations:**
- Profile suggestions based on actual cache patterns
- Desktop environment-specific optimizations
- Development workload detection

### **Enhanced Persistence:**
- Environment-aware mount restoration
- Proper tmpfs sizing for detected workloads
- More granular cache categorization

## 🎯 **Next Steps to Implement**

1. **Gaming Detection:** Add Steam/shader cache scanning
2. **GNOME Support:** Add GNOME-specific cache detection  
3. **Container Detection:** Add Docker/Podman cache scanning
4. **Build Tool Detection:** Add Gradle/Maven/Cargo cache scanning
5. **GPU Optimization:** Add shader cache prioritization

The enhanced scanner now provides much more intelligent analysis and recommendations based on the user's actual desktop environment and usage patterns!
