I’ve also had a chromebook with only 30 GB of slow eMMC once. Adjusting I/O caching helped noticeably: # /etc/sysctl.d/20-flash-speed-settings.conf # disk-settings # https://lonesysadmin.net/2013/12/22/better-linux-disk-caching-performance-vm-dirty_ratio/ # (vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10) percent of memory to use for caching vm.dirty_background_ratio = 15 # (vm.dirty_ratio = 20) the max percent of memory to use for caching vm.dirty_ratio = 30 # (vm.dirty_writeback_centicecs = 5) how often the buffer is checked for work to do vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 6000 # (vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 500) sets how long something can be in the buffer vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 6000 About lack of space: keep the system on the eMMC and mount a thumbdrive as /home? (in /etc/fstab)
