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

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.

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.

It's also on the AUR if you don't want flatpack
Thank you. Although I'm sticking to btop, it's nice to have the option.

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
How long is "a while"? I've had it open for around 30 minutes now and I'm not seeing what you're describing. Around the 15 minute mark I also tried clicking through various tabs, performing some actions, etc. and memory usage is still staying steady at 247MiB.
I think it's cool. The Windows Task Manager is not bad IMO
Well it's not bad in theory, it just runs like ass.. This version already runs 10 times faster than the real thing, sometimes I wonder what the hell is going on over at Microsoft.
Thing is when your system is dying and nothing is responding, you can almost always trust task manager to respond because of its privileges, simplicity and the fact it's built into the OS rather than using APIs, even if explorer.exe crashes.
Given there's no "ctrl-alt-f2: Imma go fix this mess" on Windows, having at least something you can rely on to not die is super valuable even if it is bad.
I'm not saying this tool isn't better for system monitoring (but I would like to see something like KSysGuard), just that Microsoft absolutely shouldn't touch task manager to fix whatever's wrong with it's resource usage monitoring functionality to avoid breaking something else in it
The Windows task manager only refreshes at a certain interval. Holding F5 will make it refresh as fast as it can.
I didn't know that! Although that makes the x-axis label of "60 seconds" not right...
Task manager is one of the most lightweight tools Windows has these days. It's not slow at all.
"More data points in the graph" doesn't mean the code runs any better. Task manager needs to run on machines where making basic graphs takes up 25% of a CPU core, there's no need to waste CPU cycles taking 60 measurements per second.

I literally whispered "why?" to myself. Re-Write windows in rust! LMAO
The meme has come full circle.
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)

Cool, one of the few things I miss from Windows.
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.
How about Vscodium?
Nah, I'm looking for a nice text editor, not a full on IDE. Something I can quickly open to change config files and stuff that has good formatting and can also auto detect the formating. By the time vscode boots up I have gotten bored and done the changes in nano.

I feel like the design of this fits better with the gnome desktop than gnome system monitor
Haha this is fun project. Youtuber 'Dave's Garage' spend years with annual six figures to create this tool.
And here I would always immediately replace it with Process Explorer back when I still had to use Windows.
Imagine launching a flatpak when your computer is already overloaded 💀
Are flatpaks really that bad? Why would they even require more resources?

Nice. I was looking for some GUI helper in Linux similar to Device Manager
Got this setup and running on my Steam Deck. Really really cool. Love how clean it looks.
Great design! Was looking a good, easy to use process manager on Linux. Thank you!
