I've been using #GKrellM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKrellM , a system monitor) basically since I've started using #Linux in 2000
It's currently flagged for removal from #Gentoo. No maintainer for the package. And upstream is dead. Literally, even, the main dev Bill Wilson died in 2021 :(
That's how my current gkrellm setup looks. Well, "current", it's not I've changed it in any way ever
Oldest screenshot I still have is from 2005. That's already the exact same gkrellm theme
Linux kernel 2.6.10. 768MB RAM. I still had a Windows partition there, since I had mounted "wC" and "wD"
@DrMcCoy
Haha WC
So are you gonna take over gkrellm maintainership?
Do you also have computers called Eduscho or Dallmayr?
@Doomed_Daniel Probably not. I already have far too much on my plate
Especially since one thing that was pointed out was that it's a gtk2 program. If they actually want to have it gone to remove gtk2 in the long run... well, I certainly don't have time to rewrite it completely
My laptop is Heimbs. Eduscho is an old Pentium I still have here, I use Dallmayr for a collection of VMs
@DrMcCoy
I can relate =)
Ok, porting to a newer Gtk version (and even newer versions whenever they're released) doesn't sound like fun exactly.
Thought it was maybe plain xlib or some other custom-ish thing. OTOH I guess you can just keep using it by bundling the binary with the gtk2 libs in its RPATH
