Ultra Performance Tuning based on Debian

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:03]Say, what's cracking everybody? On today's video, I'm going be taking a look at a system called Ultra Performance Tuning. As you can see right here, um this system right here is going to be a Debian based system and it has some uh certain settings that are uh you know dialed in for ultra performance tuning which you know enhances the name ultraerformance tuning which is the uh system itself. But uh this DRO is part of a family uh from uh the Nixana Linux and AI labs. As you can see right here, I've already taken a look at uh the uh Megaix Linux and I believe I've also taken a look at the uh Almighty Linux, but they have quite a few uh distros right here that you can see. Uh they have Zancora OS uh Fishy Linux, uh Linux Engineer Toolkit Live, Hardwing, Harden Wing OS, uh Linux Megaix, which we saw already, and Almighty Linux, Ultra Performance Tuning, and Relaying Machine. So, they have these uh these dros right here that they all offer. They're all made by the same group right here. But uh right now I'm going to be taking a look at the uh ultra performance tune in version. So we'll uh get it installed and see what it's about. It is a Debian based and it uses the uh you know Debian installer.

[00:01:32]So we'll head on over to a virtual machine and take a look at this uh Debian installer. So here's an image of the system itself and we can go to their website and take a look. Each one is going to have a specific website for the dro that it's uh using. So you can see right here it's going to be uh using Debbie and Trixie. Uh it's going to be using a real time kernel and 100% hardware power. So why ultra performance tuning? You can see right here it has a real time core uh kernel low latency tuning maximum resource locking built for position workloads lightweight desktop environment and compromising power mode.

[00:02:16]So we're going to see what this is about. Uh see if anything uh that it's claiming even matters in this situation. I mean we are looking at it in a virtual machine. So that kind of uh that kind of separates it from you know bare metal and you know things like that. So you know it's only so much you could do on a virtual machine. You can do a lot but you know you are limited and you can see right here you have some of other features. So you know I have this link down in the uh video description that way you can uh go through it and uh have a better look at it. But if we go to the uh download we'll click on download. You see right here that uh it tells you a critical warning and risk disclosure. So it has some uh disclosures right here for uh you know for downloading this system right here. Uh [snorts] so you know one of the main uh topics going to be uh for which users is this distribution not suitable. So it tells you who is not suitable for and right off the bat it tell you it's not suitable for gaming PCs, old or low uh spec computers and daily home office use. So this is a this is a niche system that's built for a certain uh for [snorts] a certain uh aspect uh security versus performance tradeoffs. So security mitigation disabled web browsing is highly unsafe.

[00:03:34]So take that for uh what you will. Uh potential hardware and software damage.

[00:03:39]Uh thermal stress and hardware uh degradation watchdog diagnosis bypass file system corruption and data loss.

[00:03:48]and a disclaimer and waiver of liability. So, it's letting you know that if you install this system, you know, you are at risk of these uh these uh pointed out uh topics right here that it's uh you know, pointing out and you have to confirm all these three before it even allows you to download. So, you have to check all three of these boxes and then you'll have the uh download link available. Okay? So, just wanted to make you guys aware of this. Uh whether it matters or not, it's up to you. This is going to be a user specific base. Uh but you know, if you want to test it out on virtual machine just to see what it's about, you can do that. If you're going to put this on bare metal, you know, make sure you read this uh you know, closely and understand everything that it's saying right here. So, like I said, I will have this link down in the video description. That way you can uh go through it and read everything carefully and that way you can decide for yourself whether you want to download this system and play with it or not. It's totally up to you.

[00:04:49]Just beware of the warnings. So let's head on over to the virtual machine and take a look at ultra performance tuning.

[00:05:02]Here [music] we are on the virtual machine. As you can see, the uh installer has opened up.

[00:05:17]So, I'm going to run through quick through this installer. Uh it is the Debian installer. It's very simple. It's easy to use. So, you know, you can just follow along and go through it. I am going to go kind of fast because I just want to get through it as fast as I can.

[00:05:31]So, right here, language, English, uh, location, United States. Uh, keyboard, American English. It'll do what it needs to do right here. It's going to set up some components.

[00:05:44]Configure the network. Leave it as default.

[00:05:49]Enter your user info.

[00:05:54]Give your username and password.

[00:05:59]Select your time zone.

[00:06:04]Partition disc. I'm going to use guided.

[00:06:07]Select my virtual disc.

[00:06:09]All files in one uh partition.

[00:06:13]Finish partitioning.

[00:06:15]Highlight. Yes. Hit enter.

[00:06:18]Installation is complete. And it autoreboots. So, let's go ahead and log in.

[00:06:32]Okay. And here we are on the XFCE desktop environment. First thing I want to do here is uh I want to go ahead and uh fix my uh screen resolution. So let me get to the uh settings. Go to display and I'll set it to 1920 by 1080 and I'll set the hertz to 60. Click on apply and I'll keep this configuration.

[00:06:54]All right. So, here we are. Ultra performance tuning. Um, like I said before, uh there's really not much, you know, tuning uh testing I could do right here because I am on a virtual machine, but I will try a few things here out.

[00:07:09]But, uh first let's uh go through the system. It is the uh XFCE desktop environment. Um you know, traditional layout with the uh panel on the bottom.

[00:07:18]uh you know you got your system tray which is going to house your uh volume control uh internet connection your notifications your power sessions you know things like that nature and then on the left we do have the uh typical pinned applications we have a terminal file manager and a web browser in this case we do have some uh desktop icons we have a home folder we have a trash folder and we have mounted devices [snorts] as far as the uh applications menu it is using the uh whisker menu from uh XFCE. So, uh, right here everything is set up to icon view. So, so you do have your favorites, you have recently used, all applications, accessories, internet, multimedia, settings, and system. One thing I want to note right here is that basically you have a bare system.

[00:08:09]There's no uh [snorts] audio, video player as far as internet. All you have is Firefox. Uh, and that's pretty much it. You have nothing for graphics, nothing for uh imaging. Uh it's a very barebones system with basically nothing at all installed on here. So if we go to the all applications, we can basically see everything that's actually on here.

[00:08:31]Most of it is going to be a default from XFCE. So uh if you want to install something, then you're going to have to get on a terminal and install it yourself. Uh there is no software manager or anything like that. It's just all basic default uh XFCE uh uh applications here. Probably the only thing that's uh customized on here is going to be this uh wallpaper. And that's pretty much it. Uh typically when you install XFCE, it does come with a panel on top and then you have like a a a second panel on the bottom or a dock on the bottom. So in this case, it has a traditional layout with just one panel on the bottom and it does have a customized wallpaper. Other than that, you're looking at a barebone system here. Basically, nothing at all.

[00:09:18][snorts] So, let's go ahead and uh open up a terminal and see if we have something like a HTOP or BTOP or, [snorts] you know, something similar. If not, we'll just go ahead and install it.

[00:09:29]And while we install that, we're just going to go ahead and and do a a full system update. and we're gonna install a suite of packages, you know, as far as imaging, you know, uh, audio, video, office, you know, just try to make it a quick system real quick. But first, let me check. Do we have HTOP installed?

[00:09:48]There's htop and we don't. How about BTOP?

[00:09:53]We don't. Now, by default, you know, because of the core utils, it is going to have top, which is just going to be TP. So we click on top and you can see right here uh top is just uh a little harder to read but you know it gives you all the same information. It's just that uh htop and btop they uh organize all this information in a more human readable fashion. But you can see right here uh if you do top we can see right here uh we are using uh what is this 407 gigabytes. Uh as far as our uh what is no I believe this is uh the buff cache used is probably going to be one 1.7 gigabytes of our uh memory. I could be wrong right here. Uh but uh it looks like it's going to be uh 1.7 or 1.6 6 GB of memory. And as far as a swap, it's not using any swap right now. This is why a lot of people prefer to use uh BTOP or HTOP because it makes it more easier to read.

[00:10:57]>> All right. So, we can go ahead and uh clear the screen and we can uh start installing some uh software here. Being that uh it is a very very very bare bone system, we want to start installing things, you know, to make it uh you know, more usable. Now, they do tell you before you even download that, you know, it's not made for daily use and things like this. This is more made for uh stress testing. So, take that for what you will. But in this case, you know, knowing us will, you know, someone is going to use this for daily use. Whether you know, whether you like it or not, someone is going to do that. So, let's just uh hypothetically say that I'm going to use this for daily use. I'm going to want to install some equipment or some applications on here. So, little pseudo app. First, I'm going to update and then I'm going to sudo app upgrade and then I'm going to install some stuff. So sudo app install we want to install btop uh fast fetch uh we need something for imaging so we'll install as far as uh media I'll do office keep it simple we'll do libra office um that's pretty much it. I think that's all I would need. Uh, VOCC, Libra Office. That pretty much satisfies the uh the major uh, you know, day-to-day use applications. Whatever else you want to install here, you know, you can do it. So, let's say I wanted a text editor. I'll do uh, Bluma.

[00:12:49]Um, I'm just going to add Nemo in here as a file manager because I like Nemo and I could just do more stuff with it.

[00:12:56]All right. Then I'll just give it the uh, dash Y. That way it'll type y uh automatically. So the only thing I should have to type here is going to be my password. So let's go ahead and uh hit enter. Give it the password. And let's see uh if everything goes through.

[00:13:11]We do have an error. The repository for uh Debian security Trixie release is not signed. Okay. So that's something to be aware of. So we know that uh we have some errors on here. All right. So uh let's see. Let me do uh up arrow and let's uh let's first update the system.

[00:13:32]Let's see if it allows that.

[00:13:36]Okay. So, yeah, it has some errors with the repository. You know, this is u one of the things with a lot of these uh systems when you try to set them up, you're going to, you know, find yourself in a situation where you, you know, you're going to get errors like this. Uh you know, it's sad that, you know, things like this happen. you know, you come across a new DRO and you're hoping, you know, that everything's going to work out of the box and, you know, everything's going to be good. But, uh, this is the the ugly side of Linux that, uh, you know, unfortunately, this is more of the case nowadays than ever because, you know, there's always these issues that pop up in the background and nine times out of 10, the issues are going to be because of repositories. It's always these repository issues. I mean, you would think that by now with all the experience going on in Linux that, you know, a repository error shouldn't even be around anymore being how how mainstream uh Linux is becoming. It it it's sad to see an issue like this where there's always still issues with repositories, but you know, it's just the nature of things, you know, uh you know, we have to deal with it. But in this case uh this uh repository is not signed. So of course it's going to give us this uh error. Now being that we have this error and we can't update. Can we actually still install uh you know applications? That's a good question. Uh but let's see. Let me try to install Synaptic sudo app install.

[00:15:14]And let's see if we can install semantic. Seanic is sort of like a uh like a u you know a a a guided uh installer for app. So let's see what happens here. Looks like it is going to allow us to install. So far I'm not seeing any errors and it is going through with the installation. So that is a good thing right there. So, it sucks that you can't update the system, but at least you can still install uh stuff. So, let me go ahead and uh close this terminal and let's open up Synaptic. So, typically you're going to find Synaptic under your system. And there it is. Synaptic package manager.

[00:15:56]Enter your password. So, now instead of using a terminal, I'm going to use Synaptic to do everything that I needed to do. So, uh let's see. Let's go on to search.

[00:16:10]Okay. So, which one is broken?

[00:16:13]Let me just start from uh scratch. VC is broken. Okay. Unmark.

[00:16:22]Okay. Looks like uh that's all we needed to do. Just uh answer yes a couple times and let it do its thing. So, now we should have access to a flat pack. So, let's see how this pans out and let's see if this works.

[00:16:40]We could install Bizaar. That's another one of these uh package managers. So, let's go ahead and do that.

[00:16:49]All right. Now, we can go and uh do this uh bazaar.

[00:17:01]All right. But it says that a VC has already finished installing. So let's go here. Let's go under multimedia. And there you go. Now we have a VC. So now we have a uh audio video player. All right. So we just went through a whole lot just to get a VC installed. It's uh it's we do have a search right here. So now let's search for uh No, I'm stuck here. Um, well, you know what? Let's just go right here. Let's just find something real quick that uh we want to install. We already have Office. I mean, technically, you can install it again because you'll have the uh regular version and then you'll have the uh the flatpack version, which is going to be uh it's going to be in its own uh containerized uh system. But let's go ahead and do uh Google Chrome. We'll click on Google Chrome. We'll click on install. Uh, Google Chrome is high risk.

[00:18:01]Yeah, install anyway. Okay, let's see how this pans out. See if it actually uh goes all the way through. And if it does, we'll go ahead and uh we'll open up uh Google Chrome. So, let's give it a second to uh finish downloading and installing.

[00:18:18]Okay, Google Chrome has finished installing. Let's go under internet and see if we find it there. We do. Google Chrome.

[00:18:28]No, I don't want to do that. And I don't want to do that.

[00:18:33]All right. And there you have it. Now we have a Google Chrome. Don't sign in. And just open up. Okay. So, yeah, this is working. No problems. All right. So, as you can see right here, we just went through a whole lot of loops and uh and and you know, jumped a whole f whole bunch of fences and went through a lot of loops just to get a you know, software manager on here. Again, I'll repeat what I said earlier. This system tells you from the get-go. It's not made for uh daily use. Uh it's more of a performance testing uh system. So now, how would we uh you know test out the system for performance? Let's try to let's try to install uh so what I'm going to try to do right here is uh I'm going to try to you know encode a video on here and see uh you know see how the system works. again, you know, take it for what it is. I am on a virtual machine, you know, so, you know, in reality, you know, it's kind of a it's kind of a moot situation in this case, but uh you know, let's just uh [snorts] let's just download a video real quick.

[00:19:40]Uh so, my goal here is I'm going to download Kan Live. I'mma set up to encode this video, this 4K video that I just downloaded. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up uh the web browser and I'm going to open up uh I don't know probably like 10 or 15 tabs.

[00:19:56]Well, you know, different tabs. Uh and I'll make them all video tabs just to see how much it stresses out the system.

[00:20:03]Okay. So, we got uh Caden Live installed. Let's go ahead and uh I can No, I'll have to leave this open to work with Kaden Live first. Let's open up uh Firefox. Uh let's go to YouTube. Now keep in mind that I am in a virtual machine.

[00:20:24]>> And I am putting a lot of stress on it just by uh you know just you know Firefox alone just uh stresses out >> you know systems just on its own with all the uh memory that it uh it hogs up.

[00:20:38]So uh let's just see how this pans out.

[00:20:42]>> All right. So I got all these videos playing. They're all playing in the background. So, I got a total of 10 videos that are playing in the back background. All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and minimize that. Now, let's go ahead and go to multimedia and let's open up Kaden Live.

[00:20:59]All right, start editing.

[00:21:04]Okay, I'm just going to drag this over here.

[00:21:08]I'm gonna it's gonna it's going to encode in uh in the same uh the same quality it's in.

[00:21:17]All right. So, I'm just go to render and we're just going to render it as untitled. So, render to file. It's starting and it's going to take a minute, two minutes to render.

[00:21:29]Uh it is working at uh 15 frames per second. So, okay. less than 414 memory available.

[00:21:41]All right. So, uh we are this uh virtual machine is using um 8 gigabytes of memory. So, you can see that uh >> you know it is uh complaining a lot about memory right here. But it is still going. It's still uh doing what it's doing.

[00:21:57]>> Uh and let's see uh everything up here.

[00:22:00]Let's see. Uh looks like uh we are having some uh some lag issues with the uh with the streaming. Well, this one is working.

[00:22:11]This one is working.

[00:22:14]This one uh yeah, it's still going. So, you can see right here. All right. It keeps complaining about the low memory, but you know, everything is still working. Everything is still uh is still going along. It's still moving. Of course, this one already ended, but uh you know, as far as uh what I'm feeling, I am feeling some lag right here on the uh web browser. Let me go ahead and minimize the web browser. Okay, this is still going though. So, it's still working. Uh let's see. Uh am I feeling lag on the desktop itself? Uh I'm not feeling lag on the desktop. It's just in the web browser where I'm feeling the lag. Uh let's see. Uh what else? Let's uh go ahead and uh let's open up see how that pans out.

[00:22:59]All right, is opening it up.

[00:23:04]All right, go ahead and close this. Uh, let's create a new image. Uh, 1920 by 1080. That's fine. All right, start typing some text right here.

[00:23:19]Yeah, so everything is working right here. Uh, I'm not feeling, you know, too much lag. There is a little bit of lag but it's not too much. And again remember we have the uh Firefox open with 10 tabs uh watching videos. We are uh you know doing a lot of stuff. We're encoding the video. But all in all it's everything is still working. Uh miraculously it's still working. Uh you know it's still working pretty good right here. Uh it's not really uh I've been on other systems where you know the lag is like 10 times worse than this.

[00:23:53]You know what I mean? and and with nothing opened up just on the system alone. I've been on systems where they just lag out of control. But this is actually still usable. It's still working with everything that I'm doing right now on the system and uh the way I have these tabs open and all these videos and encoding a video at the same time. And it's still encoding. So, uh yeah.

[00:24:15]All right. Uh I mean the system is still usable. You you could still use this system right here, you know. So I got to say that uh just on that alone uh you know it uh it is working and it is working well. So uh no complaints on that part. Uh we keep getting this uh you know less than you know certain amount of megabytes of memory available.

[00:24:37]But you know it's still going and it finished and it took uh 3 minutes and 15 seconds to render this video.

[00:24:45]All right. So let's go ahead and uh close this. We can pretty much close everything now. Uh, we don't need to save nothing there. We can close uh We don't need to save nothing there. Uh, we can close the uh web browser. All right. So, now where did we save that video to? Let me go back to uh computer Linux hub. Is it under videos? Yes, it is. And let's go ahead and open it up.

[00:25:15]Yep. And it worked. It encoded the video and everything.

[00:25:22]All right. So, I got to got to say that it is uh it is tuned for performance and um it's not lying on that front. It is working. It worked uh as I said it was going to. And like I said, uh I've been on uh on worse systems before that with nothing open and you know, they're just lagging. You know, they're stuttering and doing all this. But on this with uh I had Firefox open with 10 tabs. I was encoding a 4K video. I was uh doing stuff with and the system was still very usable. So, I gotta say that uh that is uh that is a good good point on it. Unfortunately, with all the issues with the repos and things like that, you know, and being that this is not meant for day-to-day users, you know, I just simply could not uh recommend this system for uh for, you know, for the daily user, you know, it's not recommendable.

[00:26:17]Now with that said, if you want to use a system for uh performance testing, I would say uh use this system. It is good on that part. It will uh you know perform uh the way it's supposed to form under stress. And uh as you see in this video, I just showed it, you know, and on top of that, I am recording. So, you know, I got to say, I'll give it good marks as far as uh performance testing.

[00:26:42]It did uh it did great on that part. As far as uh you know recommending it for uh daily users, absolutely not. This is a system that cannot be used for uh you know day-to-day users. It tells you right from the gate on the website that this is not this is not for gaming. This is not for day-to-day users. But I would imagine that uh if I would to install Steam on here and try to use Steam, I'm pretty sure it's going to work great because of the way it uh handles underperformance. But uh then again, that's just me guessing. But all in all, no, I would not recommend this system.

[00:27:21]But of course, you see, if you seen the video, you seen that uh it can be used.

[00:27:25]You know, you have to jump through some hoops and get things done. But uh it can be used.

[00:27:33]Before I end this video, I want to say a special thank you to uh MKR Lea, Proto Web Digital Solutions, Mark Hoot, Annaniel Ria, Ian Lambert, Tracy Seagull, Quack, David Yo, and Loretta Kerner. I want to thank these folks for their uh recent donations to help out the uh Linux Hub project. Thank you to each and every one of you. Linux Hub runs because of you guys. And again, I want to say thank you.

[00:28:10]All right, you guys. Uh, if you're new to the channel, please go ahead and, uh, subscribe. Uh, if you like the video you just saw, please give it a thumbs up. If you didn't like the video, by all means, give it a thumbs down. It's software game on Linux Prime. And I'm out.

[00:28:29]>> [music] [music]
