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.

I've been using MeshCentral lately, it does the job but the UI leaves something to be desired.

Have you tried changing the default view from Columns to List? IMO it makes the UI much better. Then you can add in a more details about each PC on the main view. Make is very useful if you have a lot of computers you are managing.

You can also switch from the left bar interface to top bar interface. That looks better to me. Also dark mode.

I have changed up the view and don't get me wrong, it's more than usable it's just not pretty.

And sadly MeshCentral is pretty much death development wise, isn't it? The main dev left Intel and now has not enough time for the project, wasn't that the story?

Edit: it seems to be developed again, much slower,though. But better than nothing.

Oh I didn't realise it was no longer actively being developed. That's a bummer.

I must actually revoke my statement,it seems like it is now being revived and is developed again, at a much slower pace,though.

But much better than nothing and at least security updates seem to be working.

Sorry for the misinformation, my bad, the different sources are quite misleading sometimes.
