I installed garuda on a brand-new laptop.
I want to ask for suggestions about maximizing my laptop's life with garuda.
There are a few questions in my mind
-
Garuda's default swappiness is 133. I noticed like 1.5G swap being used in system monitor though i have 2-3G memory unused. Is it wearing down my SSD?
-
My CPU temp varies between 50-80 during normal use and peaks 95-98 during heavy use(approx 3 times a day) Is it causing my CPU to wear quickly?
-
Please give any other suggestions
