Full path to article: Desde Linux » GNU / Linux » How to optimize Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and derivatives with Stacer
I think we are left owing the "how." Beyond the installation / uninstallation guide, a lot of screenshots but little content regarding what actions to take, such as which services to disable in a factory configuration to precisely "optimize" the system.
Avoid creating posts with such vague and unhelpful content. Millions of posts of this type already exist, and DesdeLinux It is a reference site for many Linux users, there is a lot of material on this page that can be used for this, it is better for you to make them available in a quick list than to reinvent the wheel.
It is rare that you consider it not very useful when several people have started to use it because it simply makes it easier and more comfortable for them to have a cli to do certain things in the terminal. Thank you very much for your advice, although we are not reinventing the wheel, we are only releasing tools that allow you to perform certain actions in Linux.
The lists already exist, now we are adding and making known new tools.
Indeed it is something that can be done by hand simply, I make it very clear in the intro of the article
Stacer has a fairly simple, organized and attractive interface, recommended for beginner users and those who want to do processes that we usually do from the console from an excellent graphical interface.
The typical "clever" that boasts of knowing a lot because a lot of commands are learned when we have the option of doing everything in a simpler way. You can see that for some, computing must remain the same as it was in the 80s.
Thanks for Stacer this, very practical for those of us who do not have time to learn commands and stories and prefer to use our time on other things.
Hello, magnificent tool, by the way, how do those smart guys who answer like wanting to discredit your work and contribute absolutely nothing? I said, great tool and good article.
It is normal, there are thousands, but like everything in life, things have to be done for those who value them, the rest we must have something of importance, who take the time to criticize us.
In Linux none of this is necessary, you do not have to optimize anything, or clean anything, neither from the console nor with the graphical interface, Linux will always go just as well.
Yours is in good spirits, it is unquestionable, but unfortunately no OS is free from "sin", although we must recognize our favorite OS for the good health he has and the little medical care he needs.
There are two classes of people, those who try in one way or another to help others, and those who always criticize the first. We are not all linux guru. For those of us who are starting in this world, this is the news we always want to hear, as the ubutnu slogan says, "linux for human beings." Information is appreciated
Good article, I am one of those who prefer not to use the console, although I recognize how practical it is, I prefer the graphical interface and I did not know these utilities.
The practicality that the console gives us is super important, but for no one is it a secret that there are a large number of users who prefer to do things more graphically and in a simpler way, that group of people represent a large% of Systems users Desktop Operations and we should better reach them.
Well, I appreciate these GUI programs and those who bring them to us. And I am up to the cap of the heavy people of the consolita who are bothered that programs with GUI are removed. Hey, if you don't like them, don't use them and stop bothering.
Thank you.
Well, let's see when those anti-GUI firecrackers find out and leave us alone with our "tastes and colors." They behave as if someone forced them to wear them!
Good afternoon, I tried to install it on Ubuntu 16.04 but apparently it doesn't, I did it from the console and also from the software center, but it doesn't work:

Luigys: Thank you for bringing a little light to the optimization of our operating systems.
I now remember a phrase from our Apostle, José Martí, which more or less says:
«The Sun, our star king, has spots. Is not perfect. The grateful see the light. The ungrateful only see the spots.
And look how difficult it is to see the spots in the sun if you look at it from the front!
There must be something wrong with the shortcut. You could try creating a new one from your existing text editor. If you want to do it, here is the code:
It tells me that there are dependencies that cannot be fulfilled so I was trying to uninstall it but oh surprise I found it and opened it and it can be used ... I don't know if the message was normal or what. I use Xubuntu 16.04.
Greetings and thanks for being considerate to those of us who are new to GNU / Linux to make life easier for us (because I really doubt spending much time on GNU / Linux to become an expert on it). I honestly find Linux users curious that Windows monopolizes the pc market, but the attitude of your critics is to not allow anyone else to enter ... how inconsistent.
Hello! Very interesting!
I would like to know if this application only works for Ubuntu and derivatives or also for other distributions.
Thank you so much!

I leave you a couple of blog articles that could help you more thoroughly

In the same way if you go to the following link https://blog.desdelinux.net/?s=optimizar you will get a lot of information about it. The tool gives you the possibility to perform a series of steps graphically

I wasted my time, nothing that cannot be done by hand with medium knowledge
Indeed it is something that can be done by hand simply, I make it very clear in the intro of the article

Good article. The optimization tool is very good. I'm going to test it on my Linux Mint.
I tested it on Linux MInt
I notice a resemblance to ubuntu tweak or bleachbit.
Yes, maybe the functionalities are the same in some cases ... I like Stacer's neat interface
Well, I appreciate these GUI programs and those who bring them to us. And I am up to the cap of the heavy people of the consolita who are bothered that programs with GUI are removed. Hey, if you don't like them, don't use them and stop bothering.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for your comments, LInux is for all tastes and colors.

$stacer
stacer: order not found
Go to the cd / usr / share / stacer / directory and run ./Stacer ... Or just type the following from the terminal /usr/share/stacer/./Stacer
In my case the / usr / share / stacer folder does not appear, I also searched for it manually with nemo and nothing.
Any suggestions?
Hello @ HO2Gi can you tell me in which distribution and version you are installing to see if I can replicate the scenario ..
Luigys: Thank you for bringing a little light to the optimization of our operating systems.

«The Sun, our star king, has spots. Is not perfect. The grateful see the light. The ungrateful only see the spots.
And look how difficult it is to see the spots in the sun if you look at it from the front!
How a phrase well says it:
"Let THE DOGS bark Sancho friend, it is a sign that we are passing."
Cool!
Regards. I downloaded it but I installed it with the installer that comes for DEB packages, all good, but I want to run it and I get an error
I leave you the image, I thank you in advance for the help
http://www.subeimagenes.com/img/stacer-1684784.html
Run it from the console in the following way and tell me how it goes:
/usr/share/stacer/./stacer
There must be something wrong with the shortcut. You could try creating a new one from your existing text editor. If you want to do it, here is the code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name = Stacer
Exec = / usr / share / stacer /./ Stacer
Icon = stacer
Terminal = false
Type = Application
In the "Icon" field you can indicate a path to any other icon you like (for example /home/jesus/cepillo.png).
Regards!
Another thing: I forgot that you have to save the file with a .desktop extension once you finish editing it.
Thanks for the information, any help for basic users is well appreciated, greetings
It tells me that there are dependencies that cannot be fulfilled so I was trying to uninstall it but oh surprise I found it and opened it and it can be used ... I don't know if the message was normal or what. I use Xubuntu 16.04.
