rwiegand 4accd12724 🚀 Linux System Tuning Suite - Complete tmpfs/overlay functionality
 Features Added:
- Complete tmpfs/overlay detection and optimization system
- Intelligent cache directory scanning (browser, IDE, system caches)
- RAM-based sizing for optimal performance
- Duplicate mount detection and cleanup
- Smart symlink creation for seamless cache optimization

🔧 Core Components:
- one-button-optimizer.sh: Interactive system optimizer with tmpfs support
- system-analyzer.sh: Hardware detection and usage analysis
- tune-system.sh: Main orchestrator with modular design
- monitor.sh: Performance monitoring and health checks

🛠️ Tools & Utilities:
- cleanup-tmpfs-duplicates.sh: Dedicated duplicate mount cleanup
- test-tmpfs-detection.sh: Non-root testing for detection logic

Linux System Tuning Suite

🚀 Intelligent system optimization toolkit for Linux desktop systems

This repository provides automated system tuning based on hardware detection, usage patterns, and best practices for tmpfs, overlay filesystems, and kernel parameter optimization.

NEW: One-Button Optimizer

🎯 Quick Start: sudo ./one-button-optimizer.sh

The one-button optimizer is an intelligent, interactive system optimizer that:

  • 🔍 Analyzes current optimizations and detects suboptimal configurations
  • 🤔 Prompts for user choice on each optimization
  • 🎯 Applies only selected optimizations - no forced changes
  • Recognizes existing optimal configurations and leaves them alone
  • ⚙️ Handles mixed scenarios where some optimizations exist but aren't ideal

Quick Tools

  • ./one-button-optimizer.sh - Main interactive optimizer (recommended)
  • ./quick-status-check.sh - Quick system status overview (no changes)
  • ./launcher.sh - Auto-sudo launcher for the optimizer

🎯 Features

  • Hardware Detection: Automatically detects RAM, CPU, storage configuration
  • Usage Analysis: Identifies frequently accessed files and directories
  • Intelligent Tuning: Applies optimizations based on system characteristics
  • Interactive Mode: User control over what gets optimized
  • Suboptimal Detection: Finds and offers to fix existing but suboptimal configs
  • Modular Design: Easy to customize and extend
  • Safe Deployment: Backup and rollback capabilities
  • Multi-Distribution: Works across different Linux distributions
