  1. I run gkrellm everywhere. Even on closed Source operating systems. The dashboard is designed in such a way that I can just glance and know if something is wrong, if some process pulls way too much, and then I get in with htop to granularly see what's going on

  2. Gkrellm is one of the lightest system monitoring tools that I use, only top and htop are lighter. Of course it's a Natural Choice on not only the SBC Pi5 but on all machines here

    I spy with my little eye #GKrellM!!

    Used to LOVE that thing back in ye olden days! (circa 2000) ;)

    I cannot find the site, but I had downloaded all the themes ages ago. The compressed tarball is a bit less than 1 meg, so I put it on sdf. You can get them by issuing:

    curl 'gopher://sdf.org/0/users/jmccu' > gkrellm_themes.tar.gz

    To get the signature:

    curl 'gopher://sdf.org/0/users/jmccu' > gkrellm_themes.tar.gz.asc

  5. Glad to see #gkrellm still being maintained!

    I noticed in #slackware current gkrellm was upgraded to the new version.

    So, with me being on #slackware 15.0, I grabbed the current source for the new gkrellm from slackware.osuosl.org.

    I compiled and upgraded it and the new version runs great on #slackware 15.0

    GKrellm is a vital tool here. Even when I'm on win64 running a simulation, I have it on a secondary display

    #GKrellm #dashboard #OpenSource

  7. Today I give thanks to the programmers and coders of gkrellm. This nifty panel program works flawlessly, even on Wayland display servers.

    Gkrellm was born way before Wayland was even an idea

    It seems trivial to spawn properly on an Xorg session over ssh, but a program like pavucontrol erroneously spawns itself on the local display of the machine instead of the remote display, when invoked in an xsession. A bug which I need to report and will of course be squashed by those coders.

    Gkrellm even keeps different configurations when spawned from different machines. Gkrellm is a trusted valuable tool, which uses a minimum amount of network resources meaning that you can even run it over the Internet when you have a metered connection

    #gkrellm is sweet!!! I used it every day circa 2000! ;)

    And I absolutely love the fact that it's still usable today.

    If someone thinks that a program has to be massively re-written every couple years with brand new frameworks/toolkits, or whatever the flarg, I'd really, passionately like to invite them to snort a raw egg at this very moment!! XD

  9. GKrellM: A Cross-Platform Open Source System Monitor

    GKrellM is a single process stack of system monitors which supports applying themes to match its appearance to your window manager, GTK, or any other theme. It could be seen a GUI equivalent to Conky.

    It is easy to configure and runs well on Linu ...continues

  10. @joel I learnt to love it years after switching from Mac OS X to PC-BSD.

    Honestly, I'm not aware of anything better for a compact visualisation of memory, swap usage, swap business (thrashing is rare), and the top three users of CPU.

    The launcher is a bonus.

  11. Does anyone still use ?

    I stinking LOVED that program 24 years ago.

  13. Here's my story about a long perplexing frequent micro stutter that occurred when gaming on Xorg but not on wayland. Maddening. It turns out it was cauesd by Nvidia GPU temperature monitoring in gkrellm. reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comm

    For comparison, that's how my desktop currently looks

    Still e16, but different theme
    Still using vim, but now uxrvt instead of xterm, and different font

    Still the same main background. 16:9 now, though

    #GKrellM #Linux #Gentoo

    March 2006. No Windows partitions anymore

    And I've changed my desktop background. That's actually the main one I still use today
