# 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**

|
|
- 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
|
|
|
