Mobian upgrade path
#8
I moved from the sdcard to the internal emmc. I agree the system feels snappier.
Doing so also allowed to keep a backup sdcard copy of the emmc whenever I make a significant change to the system. Also having another card available for extra storage is nice. With the extra storage available via the sdcard I also allotted a 2 gb partition on the sdcard for a swap partition and changed the system swappiness value to 10. This made another significant jump in feeling snappier. I did this through ssh via parted, then mkfs.ext4 (for storage) and mkswap, then blkid >> /etc/fstab and edit the added lines for fstab. (to save copying the UUID values), finally added "vm.swappiness=10" to the /etc/sysctl.conf file and rebooted.
