Hi to all,
My first post here, hope it's the right place.
My Mint 20.2 laptop is very slow. It would be surprising to realize it needs an hardware upgrade taking into account that it's an ASUS VivoBook S with i7-8550U CPU, 8GB RAM and 1TB Sata HD. Before adding 8GB more RAM and replacing the HD with an SSD (which I will surely do, sooner or later), I've been looking for some software issue and found out that clamav took 1,2GB of RAM at startup (so I uninstalled it), that Firefox and Chromium are hugely memory consuming (I'll replace them with some lightweight browsers) and also - that's why I'm writing here - I see there is some startup error regarding Tomcat.
Considering I'm not so familiar with web applications, web servers and other web stuff, I wonder whether it's ok to remove Tomcat too, hoping this will not make my system unstable and will not prevent other applications to run properly. My most frequently used applications are: Thunderbird, Firefox, LibreOffice, Master PDF Editor.
I've tried to launch the uninstall command, just to see what other applications would be removed and that's the result in attachment, as well as some logs. I don't know whether that guacamole and java8 will badly affect my system if removed together with Tomcat, considering I also have java15 installed (I don't remember why I have java8 installed too, maybe for some compatibility with some software... I don't remember) and I've never heard of guacamole software before.
So, in conclusion: may removing Tomcat be the solution? Will that be safe for the rest of my system? Thanks a lot.
