In this video I cover a method of potentially speeding up the application loading times on Linux using the Preload Daemon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(software)

Preload is similar to SuperFetch in Windows that sits in the background, analyses your application usage, and then based on a report loads the applications you use most frequently into memory.

The idea is that by pre-loading applications into memory, they have the potential to load quicker.

Preload can be installed from almost all distributions repositories using a package manager.

For example, on Ubuntu based distributions using a GUI software store or the following Terminal command:

sudo apt install preload
