Kernel Options
Magic SysRq key
- Ideal:
kernel.sysrq = 1
echo 'kernel.sysrq = 1' | sudo tee '/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysrq.conf' > '/dev/null' && cat '/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysrq.conf'
sysctl 'kernel.sysrq'
Intel Perf Counters
- Ideal:
dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid = 0
- Requires
initramfs
to be rebuilt (covered by Dracut Tweaks)
echo 'dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0' | sudo tee '/etc/sysctl.d/99-i915-perf.conf' > '/dev/null' && cat '/etc/sysctl.d/99-i915-perf.conf'
sudo sysctl 'dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid'
Bootloader
Dracut
- System-specific boot optimization
- Expects GRUB
- Be sure to undo this if planning on booting the same disk install on different hardware, notably for servers
sudo -e '/etc/dracut.conf.d/99-custom.conf' && sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all
compress="cat" do_strip="yes" aggressive_strip="yes" hostonly="yes" hostonly_mode="strict" fileloglvl="0" sysloglvl="0" stdloglvl="0"
Undo
sudo rm -f '/etc/dracut.conf.d/99-custom.conf' && sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all && sync
Boot Options
- Add commands within
args
sudo grubby --update-kernel='ALL' --args=''
sudo grubby --update-kernel='ALL' --remove-args=''
sudo -e '/etc/default/grub' && sudo grub2-mkconfig -o '/boot/grub2/grub.cfg'

GNOME
Extensions
External Monitor Settings
- This copies the configured monitor settings from the current user to
gdm
and also applies it to the log-in screen - Notably useful for setting a laptop's built-in screen as disabled for the log-in screen while used in a dock configuration
sudo cp --remove-destination ~/'.config/monitors.xml' ~gdm/'.config/monitors.xml' && sudo chown 'gdm':'gdm' ~gdm/'.config/monitors.xml' && sudo restorecon -F -I -R ~gdm/'.config/monitors.xml'
Undo
sudo rm ~gdm/'.config/monitors.xml' && sync
Tweaks
sudo -e '/etc/profile.d/99-tweaks.sh'
# Mutter export MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE='simple' # Clutter export CLUTTER_PAINT='disable-dynamic-max-render-time' # End
