Resources 1.5 has landed and brings with it monitoring for batteries along with the usual bug fixes and improvements. Enjoy!

  • Graphs in the sidebar were reset when a drive or network interface was added or removed
  • App icons were not shown for user-wide installed Flatpaks
  • The calculated amount of logical CPUs was wrong for systems with multiple CPU sockets

  • I'm currently using Mission Center, which is also really good. One of these should replace GNOME's system monitor tho because it honestly kind of sucks.

    • Yeah, I find it really nice to use but I experience a lag spike when I open Mission Center.. so that's a bit annoying.

    • I'd call gnome system monitor good enough but out of place from a layout perspective. Its looked the same for as long as I can remember

      I also personally don't like the mission center layout as much. It feels like they copied Windows for no good reason. However, that's just a personal preference

      • They definitely copied Windows but Windows' Task Manager is honestly one of the few things I actually like about Windows. My issues with Gnome System Monitor is that it's missing important information, information isn't easy to read, I don't think there's a way to stop an application and it doesn't look good.
