I think it's cool. The Windows Task Manager is not bad IMO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well it's not bad in theory, it just runs like ass.. This version already runs 10 times faster than the real thing, sometimes I wonder what the hell is going on over at Microsoft.
Task manager is one of the most lightweight tools Windows has these days. It's not slow at all.
"More data points in the graph" doesn't mean the code runs any better. Task manager needs to run on machines where making basic graphs takes up 25% of a CPU core, there's no need to waste CPU cycles taking 60 measurements per second.
Guys do you have a memory leak? When it is open, it consumes around 200 MB of RAM. After a while it reaches 800 MB
How long is "a while"? I've had it open for around 30 minutes now and I'm not seeing what you're describing. Around the 15 minute mark I also tried clicking through various tabs, performing some actions, etc. and memory usage is still staying steady at 247MiB.
Eh, what is it doing that requires 200MB+ memory?
Looks good. Anyone knows if there are .deb's somewhere?
TBH, I'm not likely to use flatpak untill I absolutely have to, and with $meta+= exec htop in my .i3/config I'm not exactly the primary audience.
(By the way, that's nothing against the author's decision to go "flatpak first", I fully support whatever choice they make as long as the project is F/LOSS. I don't have the resources to help so I'm happy to wait until the project grows enough until the deb appears..)
What is wrong with flat pack? I heard they were good
(noob question probably)
that is can of worms. not regular worms a mix of different earth worms that only wormologits can tell apart
Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it's way to Linux.
That and paint are the two things I miss moving from Windows
ps, top, and kill along with GIMP aren't good enough?
I do like the pretty charts though so I can see how close my GPU is to melting.
GIMP is great but sometimes you don’t need a woodworking shop, you need a butter knife.
