blog post about that here:

Krellix now has a macOS port, and it is running surprisingly well so far.
Most plugins are already working without modification, though a few will still need to be ported over properly for full compatibility. Let me know of any issues. Tested on Darwin 21.6.0

You can download it here:

Krellix is a themeable Qt system monitor with remote daemon support, installable plugins, and downloadable themes.

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 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/jmccue/repository/gkrellm_themes.tar.gz' > gkrellm_themes.tar.gz

To get the signature:

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

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

What system monitor program are people using on their #Linux machines these days?

I'm still using #gkrellm because it has a nice graphical configuration tool. What about everyone else?

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
