Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it's way to Linux.

[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

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 way too complicated for what MS Paint gets used for, I'd easily argue it's harder to use than Photoshop.

Paint Dot Net is a happy medium but that's also Windows only IIRC

GIMP is great but sometimes you don’t need a woodworking shop, you need a butter knife.

[-] fantasy95@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Paint is especially surprising to miss, but yeah. I tried a few different image editing programs on Linux but they were all either too limited in scope or were too complex to quickly learn.

I've just been using libre office draw but if anyone has a better alternative I'd love to hear it.

[-] unionagainstdhmo@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've just been slowly learning GIMP but nothing comes close to paint

No but it looks like more of a digital painting tool than basic image editing which is all I used paint for anyway

[-] i_am_hiding@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It's far more than basic image editing, but it's also far more akin to Photoshop than GIMP is imo.

[-] JetpackJackson@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Try Pinta! It's pretty nice and minimal!

[-] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What about KolourPaint?

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 2 points 1 year ago

The fact that it has GPU graph already makes it better than other tools.

[-] netvor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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)

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

that is can of worms. not regular worms a mix of different earth worms that only wormologits can tell apart

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Imagine launching a flatpak when your computer is already overloaded 💀

[-] notfromhere@lemmy.one 0 points 1 year ago

Nothing stopping anyone from building the source and running against native libraries is there?

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

[-] aski3252@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[-] mst@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, what is it doing that requires 200MB+ memory?

[-] mst@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That is a very good question. Short answer: I don't know as I am not familiar with the project.

I have had a brief look at the issue tracker and it doesn't seem to be mentioned on there. Perhaps I will raise an issue later when I am at my computer (or if anyone else beats me to it then please feel free).

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.
