Why? I don’t know, maybe someone here will like it.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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…)

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

    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.

          That is a very good question. Short answer: I don’t know as I am not familiar with the project.

          I have had a brief look at the issue tracker and it doesn’t seem to be mentioned on there. Perhaps I will raise an issue later when I am at my computer (or if anyone else beats me to it then please feel free).

      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

          Have you tried out the Windows 11 22h2 version? THAT one is crappy af. Even switching between menus in the sidepanel can take a few seconds to register, and I‘ve had friends with powerful Nvidia GPUs report about the same issue.

          What’s wrong with your pc

          Are you on windows 11 yet? The only place where I still use windows is my company notebook. And it’s not top notch high end, but it has a ssd, it has a 6 core cpu and it has 16 GB of RAM, yet it still runs like absolute ass.

          With virtually NOTHING going on, it takes about 3 - 5 seconds for task manager to open. Clicking on “processes” takes 5 seconds, not just the first time, but every-time I switch to processes (or pretty much any tab for that matter). I too believed that there was probably an issue with my device or something, but I just had to use a replacement notebook that has even newer hardware and it runs exactly the same…

          Now is that unusable? No, I’m probably a bit nit-picky. But it does absolutely infuriate me that Microsoft seems to struggle more and more with performance with every new windows version, especially when I also work with Linux systems that just are 10 times smoother with half the hardware specs…

          Before windows 11, I would more or less agree with you. Task manager would be reliable even when the machine was struggling. But since I use windows 11, I had task manager crash multiple times.
