From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The fact that it has GPU graph already makes it better than other tools.

[–] ThetaDev@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

KDE Sytem monitor has that function, too. You just have to add it to the history page (Sensors/GPU/Usage)

Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it's way to Linux.

The developer wrote a bit about its history

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it better consider how you have to ctrl alt del

[–] DudeWithaTwist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean Ctrl+Shift+Esc? I don't see a problem with this?

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i had no idea you can do that in linux.

[–] DudeWithaTwist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was talking about Windows... Linux DEs typically allow you to customize keybinds.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

it works on mine.

Thank you. Although I'm sticking to btop, it's nice to have the option.

Looks good. Anyone knows if there are .deb's somewhere?

TBH, I'm not likely to use flatpak untill I absolutely have to, and with $meta+= exec htop in my .i3/config I'm not exactly the primary audience.

(By the way, that's nothing against the author's decision to go "flatpak first", I fully support whatever choice they make as long as the project is F/LOSS. I don't have the resources to help so I'm happy to wait until the project grows enough until the deb appears..)

What is wrong with flat pack? I heard they were good

(noob question probably)

I'll save this quote for future uses, thank you

I literally whispered "why?" to myself. Re-Write windows in rust! LMAO

[–] Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

I think it's cool. The Windows Task Manager is not bad IMO

Cool, one of the few things I miss from Windows.

Guys do you have a memory leak? When it is open, it consumes around 200 MB of RAM. After a while it reaches 800 MB

I feel like the design of this fits better with the gnome desktop than gnome system monitor

[–] FluffyPotato@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh wow, this is really nice. I was using System Monitoring Center but this is so much nicer. My only complaint is no CPU temperature display but that's not a huge loss.

Windows had 2 pieces of software that didn't have a better alternative in Linux, now I just gotta find something like Notepad++ and I'm good.

For a good task manager, btop is really good.

Imagine launching a flatpak when your computer is already overloaded 💀

And here I would always immediately replace it with Process Explorer back when I still had to use Windows.

Haha this is fun project. Youtuber 'Dave's Garage' spend years with annual six figures to create this tool.

[–] zephyr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nice. I was looking for some GUI helper in Linux similar to Device Manager

[–] Gargari@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Great design! Was looking a good, easy to use process manager on Linux. Thank you!

Have you tried Geany? It's been my go-to editor.

Got this setup and running on my Steam Deck. Really really cool. Love how clean it looks.

[–] morethanevil@lmy.mymte.de 2 points 1 year ago

Looks great 😸 Useful for a quick Overview I wish there would be something like Crystal Disk Info for Linux or hwinfo 🤔
