(-No OS racism please-)
Am I the only one who keeps the task manager open at all times?

Indicator-multiload on ubuntu. It makes me nervous if I don't know what CPU and memory are doing :O

@filthyranter I will definitely use this term from now on

@paranoidAndroid Exactly

I have the activity monitor in mac os on all the time

I've got htop open full time on a screen connected to one of my servers :)

You're not the only one.

Is there a tool for Linux that shows you graphs of CPU, RAM, disk IO for each disk, and network IO? Windows 10 task manager is pretty dope.

@ArtNo same

@electrineer Deepin DE definitely has one (https://omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/...). It may have a few deepin dependencies if you would want it on different de: https://archlinux.org/packages/...

Nope I do too. It's especially important on Windows. Sometimes Microsoft will try to do something in a random app, particularly cortana, then I can just squish it dead before it sends off my shoe size to it's servers.

I always have procexp open to shoot memory or cpu hogger down.

@SgnfcntOverflow They are selling this shit to enterprises? Like wtf?

@nik123 The English translations are garbage.

@electrineer Well, I'm guessing they are only focusing on Chinese market. I only have installed the DE on Arch so there isn't much text except for single-word labels.

Yes

I use a terminal for that

I use i3bar and have my CPU-load, RAM, hard disk space and network usage on there

Not at all times, but a lot of the time. I like the visibility.

++ for no os racism

@electrineer
GNOME System Monitor is pretty good and has all of that.

I think KDE's process manager has a similar function as well, but I prefer gtk applications.

@RiderExMachina Yeah I like Gnome system monitor but it doesn't have disk IO as a graph.

I don’t keep task manager(or other OS equivalent) open like that.

but I do always keep always on top enabled! stupid game crashes think they can block my killing them!

Htop is the first thing I launch after bootup and leave it running. Saved me from a reboot couple of times. So no, you are not alone :)

@electrineer Conky is the standard tool for displaying stats continuously on your desktop. It's very customizable, but Lua can be annoying to use.

I have the "monitor" window of MSI Afterburner open all the time on my secondary screen... well... had until my secondary screen died but it still sits in the task bar

(it shows GPU, CPU, RAM - frequencies, loads/usages, powers, voltages, temperatures; pagefile usage, storage IO, GPU limits(utilization, thermal, voltage, power) and also fan speeds)
