Linux

This article looks rather poor and is structured like it was produced by ChatGPT answering a single vague prompt.

This reads like it was written by some LLM.

Enable journaling only if needed:
tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/sdX

Don't ever disable journaling if you value your data.

Disk Scheduler Optimization
Change the I/O scheduler for SSDs:
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
For HDDs:
echo cfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler

Neither of these schedulers exist anymore unless you're running a really ancient Kernel. The "modern" equivalents are none and bfq. Also this doesn't even touch on the many tunables that bfq brings.

Also changing them like they suggest isn't permanent. You're supposed to set them via udev rules or some init script.

SSD Optimization Enable TRIM:
fstrim -v /
Optimize mount settings:
mount -o discard,defaults /dev/sdX /mnt

None of this changes any settings like they imply.

Optimized PostgreSQL shared_buffers and work_mem.
Switched to SSDs, improving query times by 60%.

No shit. Who would've thought that throwing more/better hardware at stuff will make things faster.

EDIT: More bullshit that I noticed:

Use ulimit to prevent resource exhaustion:
ulimit -n 100000

Again this doesn't permanently change the maximum number of open files. This only raises the limit for the user who runs that command. What you're actually supposed to do is edit /etc/security/limits.conf and then relog the affected user(s) (or reboot) to apply the new limits.

Use compressed swap with zswap or zram:
modprobe zram echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset

This doesn't even make any sense.

Has anyone found a good tool to list FPS in games? I know the steam overlay does it, but not all games are steam games.

Quick example: started playing Cyberpunk again, even added it as a non-steam game in steam, but the overlay isn't there. I would really just like a tool that adds such an overlay for any game. What is out there?
