    The new plasma-systemmonitor is garbage. The UI is very clunky, and it's missing a lot of sensors that were visible with its predecessor ksysguard, for example network sensors are entirely missing for a lot of people, and nobody knows how to fix it. I think it's beyond fixable to be honest, they should dump it and create something new.

    For the time being I use ksysguard6, a port of the old ksysguard that's been fixed to work with plasma 6.

    To be honest it's probably the only program actually doing something at that moment

    Poorly behaved system monitors are as old as windowing systems in Linux.

    Gkrellm on Afterstep was famous for this.

    whats with GUI system monitors being so shitty?

    Something something observer effect

    Gotta love Linux task managers. I have like 3 of them and only htop works. If I didn't have more pressing things to do, I would sit down and figure out how to make a half decent ui-based task manager.

    I just want the name of the running program's executable, the amount of cpu usage, the amount of ram usage, the ability to sort by either name, ram or cpu use and a way to kill them that works at least half the time.

    Never had an issue with btop (though no mouse if that's what you're looking for)

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

    They are just reading /proc and re-arranging the information

    Btop v htop. Give me the low down

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

    btop reports some gpu, network and disk information that I don't think shows up in htop, feels a bit more comprehensive maybe? Both are fine, but I too use btop, it's nice.

    Random trivia: I think btop has been rewritten like 3-5 times now? It's sort of an inside joke to the point that someone suggested another rewrite from C++ to Rust ( https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/5 ). I guess the guy just likes writing system monitoring console apps.

    Endlich jemand der auch so viel swap wie ram hat.

    1000029398

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Ist dass nicht "die Regel"? Zumindest habe ich alle meine PCs so eingestellt.

    Normalerweie ist meine swap Partition sowieso leer.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

    Normalerweise wird 4 GB für swap, egal wie viel RAM vorhanden ist, empfohlen.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

    As one should!

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

    It's only one core, you got 7 more to spare

    Could use some red circle and arrow, maybe a reddit user/sub watermark.

    [–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago (3 children)
    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    I feel ashamed to admit this but I was failing to find the "systemmonitor" without the circle. I am sorry.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

    I love you guys.

    Still missing a cute anime girl to tell me what emotion I should say I feel about this.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Ahh, i was wondering what else should i have added (i refused to add a watermark, that is my redline).

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

    You could add a watermark that said fuckit in the Reddit font.

    Also needs to be embedded in a tweet with a reply explaining the joke with snark.

    [–] [email protected] 127 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    That's what original content gives you.

    OC: it just hits different

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

    Same on Windows. The task manager bogs down the CPU every time. Always on top.

    An upvoted comment on Lemmy criticizing KDE? What is happening…

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    And KDE is my #1 DE as well, WTH!?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

    Kloated by KDE

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    I see you are using more than 100% of your cpu.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

    That's one core

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

    I thought it would actually be due to kdenlive running in the background with a three hour clip open. But that's quiet as a mouse when not in use.
