Advice Needed: NomadBSD on Older Laptop – Performance Tweaks?

Hey everyone!

I recently installed NomadBSD on an older laptop I had lying around (it’s a mid-2010s model with 4GB RAM and a basic Intel processor). So far, it’s running pretty smoothly, but I am curious if anyone has some tips or tweaks to help optimize performance a bit more.

I am mostly using it for light tasks like web browsing, email, UiPath, and some coding, but I’d love to hear if there are any specific settings, packages, or configs that could help things run even smoother on this older hardware. And for the same I have been through these articles/resources NomadBSD extremely slow UiPath Installation that are quite informative. But I’d love to hear more from the community member.

Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!

Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

A related question has already been discussed here recently. Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice and GIMP are the most resource hungry. Do not replace them, just install Qutebrowser and similar slim alternatives for everyday use.
