v0idzdev / fedora-ram-tweak

Simple bash script that reduces RAM usage on Fedora Linux.

Fedora Ram Tweak

This script disables some background services and installs an early OOM tool. I've also written an additional script you can run if your PC has the CPU of a toaster and the RAM capacity of a goldfish.

This script removes some security services, and the GNOME software utility amongst others. Please do not use this unless you're looking for a last resort. I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong, you know the risks.
