What is Resources FOR LINUX?

Resources

Resources is one of those apps that got me curious even before I hit the install button. Why? Honestly, it's just so appealing! But let’s get to the important question: is it just a pretty face or does it actually do something? Let’s break it down.

What is Resources?

So, Resources is a system monitor and manager designed for GNOME-based Linux distros. And guess what? It’s totally free and open-source! This app is written in Rust and uses GTK4 with Libadwaita for its interface, making it look modern and sleek.

Features of Resources

This handy app lets you keep an eye on how your system resources are being used. You can check out your CPU, GPU (AMD and NVidia are supported), Memory, Network Interfaces, and Storage Devices. Plus, it can also show you which GUI apps are running and allow you to terminate them if needed. That makes it a solid alternative to GNOME's default System Monitor.

User-Friendly Design

What really stands out about Resources is how detailed yet simple the information is displayed. You’ll see things like VRAM usage or drive bandwidth all laid out nicely in separate sections for each device. It's way more stylish and user-friendly compared to the old System Monitor app!

A Few Downsides

Now, let’s be real. There’s always a catch! The main downside here? Resource consumption. Yeah, I know that sounds odd coming from me, but it's true—this app uses up way more resources than the traditional System Monitor.

Is It Right for You?

If you love nice visuals and don't mind using some extra RAM, then go ahead—Resources could be perfect for you! But if you're someone who relies on resource monitors because every bit counts, you might want to stick with tools like btop or Htop instead.

So back to my original question: Is Resources more than just good looks? Definitely yes! Is it flawless? Nope! But if you're not super into command-line tools for monitoring your system, there’s a good chance you'll enjoy using Resources. Give it a shot; the effort put into making this app really shows!
