  • What it is

A "works on whatever I throw this in" solution as a system monitor (SDL 2= works on both wayland and X11. Plus, it doesn't even need a window manager to run -- which is breddy gucci.). It has a pretty rough memory usage (10 times as much compared to btop), but its CPU usage compensates for it.

  • Who is this for

Mainly distro hoppers.

  • Why

Because "it just werks" and is "futureproof"'ish -- might last a couple decades before it gets irrelevant.

  • Dependencies

    Debian/Ubuntu : sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev

    Fedora : sudo dnf install gcc make SDL2-devel

    Arch : sudo pacman -S base-devel sdl2

    Alpine : sudo apk add build-base sdl2-dev

    macOS : brew install sdl2

    FreeBSD : pkg install sdl2 gmake

  • How to compile

After decompressing the tarball and downloading the dependencies,

make -j$(nproc)

Then run with

./notasysmon

That should do it. For more info, check the "README.md" file.

virustotal does not flag the tar: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/025c57ff0786d14815252c62b4ed704f02519d1aafc68e49a2606184db3725da/

still. dont just install stuff on your system, that has been uploaded 1h ago and linked in a forum! unless you really know what you are doing, wait untill that thing can be installed through your distros package manager.

    I feel very ashamed to ask about this.
    But, could you disclose if any LLM/AI tools were used?
    If yes, how much were they involved?

    Pretty much anything can be distinguished as "AI-made" nowadays, so I don't blame you.
