Speed Up Your Old Computer With Two Linux Mint Tweaks

“Your old computer does not need replacing. It needs fewer things to launch at startup.”

In Linux Mint, open Session and Startup. Everything in that list launches every time you log in. On a fresh install, that list is short. It does not stay short.”

“I turn off everything I do not need in the first sixty seconds of my day. That is the before. This is the after.”
“Second place. System Settings, then Effects. On an old graphics chip, every animation is a tax. Turn them down.”
“Nothing else about the desktop changes. It just stops asking the processor for work you never wanted.”
I hope this has been a help to you. It’s a wrap.”
