• Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines

  I always wanted more feedback, so that even in the mechanical disks and lots of fans era my desktop has always shown more data with GKrellM plus some of its plugins, namely multiping to show the status of my NAS and router, and bubblefishymon for a funny but very effective and immediate way to show that system load is growing suspiciously before fans start screaming. http://gkrellm.srcbox.net/ As for servers,... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Cool but Obscure X11 Apps

  Possibly not old enough to be included in that list, but my oldest piece of desktop software I always run on my main machine is GKrellm with BubbleFishyMon as system load monitor. http://gkrellm.srcbox.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Any alternatives to Gnome extensions to display CPU load and such?

  That doesn't always give correct readings depending on the chipset on your MB. There was a driver missing for like IT87 that returned voltage and temps to psensor. I finally gave up trying. gkrellm can monitor cpu, and many other things. You can add what you want. Source: over 1 year ago

• sysinfo-gui: A gui app based on sysinfo

  Gkrellm was not really part of GNOME or KDE, but it was one of the best tools and there was recently talk about porting it to modern GTK releases. Source: almost 2 years ago

• New to mint, i really dont like system monitor so what is a good alternative.

  OP: Another option is GKrellM. It has not been updated in a couple of years, but it still appears in Software Manager. It should work with the current versions of LM. I used it for a while on LM 17.2 because I wanted a desktop system monitor and I was too lazy to mess with Conky - I stopped using it when I moved to LM 18.1 and eliminated eye candy.

• Recommendation on how to make diablo 4 run cooler on M1 Max?

  You can make device cooler by manually turning on the fan and tinkering with the RPM of fan to make it run cooler when running games. Macboook by default does not turn on the Fans until its over 90 degree. You can use this free Fan control software. I have been using it and my mac runs cooler when gaming and such.

• CPU/system fans stopped on wake

  Install Macs Fan Control or TG Pro and see if you can get the fans to start up again after wake. Source: 11 months ago

• Must-have add-ons/accessories for MBP

  Get Macs fan control, the built in temperature for when the fans kicks in is very high. https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control. Source: 11 months ago

• Is it time for a new computer or are my issues fixable?

  Knowing how one might reproduce an issue doesn’t mean the cause is failing hardware. Apple Diagnostics may be able to tell you more, and Macs Fan Control can tell you if the fans are in working order and you can make them spin faster if you want. Source: about 1 year ago
