Changes in version 1.5.0

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

🐛 Bug fixes

  • 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

✨ New features

  • CPU usage normalization can now be toggled off
  • Total read and write stats for drives

📈 Improvements

  • Graph colors have been revamped to avoid low contrast situations and improve consistency within views
  • Some keyboard shortcuts were changed to avoid clashes with standard shortcuts

    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.

          It probably will be rewritten at some point. For now we have the resources app

    Resources and Mission Centre are both really good. I never know which to use.
