Initially, zram had only the latter function, hence the original name "compcache" ("compressed cache"). Unlike swap, zram only uses 0.1% of the maximum size of the disk when not in use. [1] After four years in the Linux kernel's driver staging area, zram was introduced into the mainline Linux kernel in version 3.14, released on March 30, 2014. [2]
Puppy Linux 5.10 desktop running in RAM. This is a list of Linux distributions that can be run entirely from a computer's RAM, meaning that once the OS has been loaded to the RAM, the media it was loaded from can be completely removed, and the distribution will run the PC through the RAM only.
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.The specific problem is: Active distributions composed entirely of free software (Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre, gNewSense, Guix System, LibreCMC, Musix GNU+Linux, Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, and Trisquel) need information in all sub categories, #General is complete.
A light-weight Linux distribution a Linux distribution that uses lower memory and processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution. The lower demands on hardware ideally result in a more responsive machine, and allow devices with fewer system resources (e.g. older or embedded hardware) to be used productively.
Memtest86+ is included, optionally or by default, in many Linux distributions, including Debian, [18] the derived Ubuntu, and Arch Linux. [19] Ubuntu includes it as part of the default installation if the machine is booting in BIOS mode, showing it in the GRUB OS-select menu; [ 20 ] the version 6.0, UEFI-capable, is available from Ubuntu 23.04 ...
The memory used by tmpfs grows and shrinks to accommodate the files it contains. Many Unix distributions enable and use tmpfs by default for the /tmp branch of the file system or for shared memory. This can be observed with df as in this example: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on tmpfs 256M 688K 256M 1% /tmp
Joli OS (formerly named Jolicloud) is in development and Pre-beta testing. Joli OS is built upon Debian and Ubuntu 9.10, but is tweaked to be more suitable for computers that have weaker specifications in terms of disk storage, memory and screen size. It is designed to run on relatively low-powered netbook computers. [78] Karoshi
The required disk space may be easily allocated on systems with more recent specifications (i.e. a system with 3 GB of memory having a 6 GB fixed-size page file on a 750 GB disk drive, or a system with 6 GB of memory and a 16 GB fixed-size page file and 2 TB of disk space).
