Slightly unrelated but the quality of the screen capture is crisp wtf

Least bloated KDE app

I use btop btw.

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

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

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.

It's a quantum measurement

Endlich jemand der auch so viel swap wie ram hat.

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.

Something something observer effect

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

Gkrellm on Afterstep was famous for this.

Every time I open it itself appears at the top

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