...much if not all of the information shown is of no value to the average desktop user...

Who would convey this idea to the developers! smile
All these logs that are useless to users waste hardware resources and, ultimately, electricity.
Logs should be disabled by default, and the user should be able to enable a specific one when setting up.
In my experience, a correctly assembled distribution works out of the box without any fuss.

Linux is full of such things.
Try to look at the size occupied on your computer by the word “copyright” or a bunch of identical license files.
Or another example, why do I need the default "man" pages in 37 languages?

... By the way, I've noticed that when using lightdm, it automatically clears .xsession-errors after a session ends, a new file is created when a new session is started, and the old one is renamed to ..xsession-errors.old

KDE3 and Trinity previously also left one old file. Now with Trinity there is only one .xsession-errors in the home folder.

The question is not to remove programs and get ten megabytes.
A modern browser will eat it all up.
It’s just that by default, things are included that are unnecessary in a particular case and are often interesting only to developers.
My DE retained all the friendly functionality.

But this is just my opinion, someone is more interested in 32 bits on a computer with i7, they have the right! smile

In the next thread, a colleague complained about

.asoundrc overrides the automagic. No sound for other users incl root unless I add the rc file to their accounts.

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=45477#p45477

This is easy to fix. You need to move the contents of ~/.asoundrc to /etc/asound.conf.
Delete the ~/.asoundrc file itself.

This is what mine looks like

 root@aa:~# cat /etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.ctl.card 0

pcm.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
             }

ctl.!default {
   type hw
  card 0
             }
root@aa:~#
 

Both root and user have sound.

In the days of classic NTP there was a simple client program that synchronized the time when loading and exited.
Now ntpsec sits in memory permanently.

Can anyone suggest a way to unload it after the initial synchronization?

With this /etc/default/ntpsec, the computer will freeze at boot due to an error with access to pool.ntp.org.

 NTPD_OPTS="-g -N -q"

Or is there another solution?

...The issue is...the kernel...

Just a fact.
.xsession-errors file size
Standard kernel - approx. 40Kb.
The kernel I assembled for a specific computer is ok. 20Kb.
It's mostly filled with lines "Fix_me..." that are interesting only to developers.

In my hands I have a USB optical mouse, it says 5V, 100 mA.
A standard USB port should provide 500 mA.

P.S. I'm sorry, maybe it's stupid...
As I understand it, the device is not new. In such cases, it often happens that the USB port, located in the most convenient place, is either dirty or loose. In this case, due to poor contact, failures are possible.

Here is an example, Gwenview is a “heavy” TDE program, but due to shared libraries, ps_mem does not display it as a separate line.
The second screenshot is Gwenview closed, 615-554 = 62 MB, between Viewnior and Mirage.

At the same time, Mirage does not display exif photo data at all, and Viewnior shows only half of the information in Gwenview.

Well, for example, Xfce is installed, its graphics library is GTK.
FLWM uses the FLTK graphics library.
Maybe it would be better to choose a window manager built with the GTK, let's start producing a menagerie?

Ideally, only one graphics library should be present.
(Сonsidering this  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_library1  )
Unfortunately, this is practically impossible.
Once upon a time in KDE Konqueror was a full-fledged browser, today with it you can only view such strict sites as this

It's a long time ago, I don't even remember that forum...

Once a guru clearly demonstrated that the capabilities of bash allow you to do without a file manager and at the same time the number of clicks is fewer. The secret is in the tab key.

One thing is bad, you need to keep the bash commands in your head. smile

Create a “light” WM fix idea since the beginning of Linux. smile

When the first gnome and kde came out, I installed them and tried them out. Kde it worked several times faster. Since then I’ve been using where/where and don’t bother with bad searches.

Kde provides a GUI for managing not only WM settings, but also system ones. From any program I can copy text to the clipboard. From the package manager I can open any file with one click, etc., etc.
In memory it takes up space at the level of xfce and even less. And this doesn't compare to the amount of memory used by any modern browser.

So why take on the burden of minimal WM and suffer later, remembering the necessary cli command?

P.S. If we leave aside the religious wars (init, systemd, etc.) and look through the eyes of a user with a more or less modern computer (even with an S775 socket), then, as an openSuse user starting with version 6.xx, I can say that their Yast with GUI for customizing absolutely everything, no competition.

And with a computer with i7, there is practically no difference in the speed of the OS with earlier initialization systems.

Regards.

Here is a slightly different option, when I used it, so as not to overwrite grub, I indicated in the menu
 

set isofile=**/1.iso**

and then renamed different images to “1.iso”. It worked with openSuse, haven't tried it with debian.

With all due respect, the solution with /dev/null and cron is acceptable either on a normally working computer (use less SSD resources, for example), or as an emergency solution in such cases.
Errors must be found and eliminated, up to the removal of bad programs and the use of analogues.
