It opened a little minimal ksysguard; it should do the same for the new app too.
Do you think we need a minimal system monitor as well or just showing the full would be okay?
I'd prefer it if it launches the full system monitor. I see little value in launching just the minimal view, most of the work that would need to be done by the computer to get to that stage would also be needed for the full system monitor. It would also keep things a lot simpler. I have personally actually been running with Ctrl + Esc rebound to launch system monitor, for quite a while. It generally works fine, though in real high memory or CPU pressure scenarios it can be a bit slow.
In theory I like this idea. I have KSysGuard on Meta+ESC since years. But in practice I'd ask to first fix bugs in plasma-systemmonitor and add again features which existed in KSysGuard and System Activity. Note: That "little minimal ksysguard" Nate mentioned has the window title "System Activity" and is being provided by /usr/bin/systemmonitor, which is not the new plasma-systemmonitor. KSysguard and System Activity worked quite well in many regards! Actually I think many people made a home for themselves in KSysGuard with many individual tabs. KSysGuard even got a Wikipedia article. https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/plasma-ksysguard.html https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=416 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_System_Guard So I think many users would be happy if KSysGuard would still be available. But if you really want to keep KSysGuard deprecated, please fix the plasma-systemmonitor bugs and and establish about feature parity. NEWLY DISCOVERED BUG (couldn't find it anywhere else) When opening plasma-systemmonitor, the CPU usage bars in the views for applications and processes first move right. But when the CPU usage fields are filled (after about 10 seconds) the bars start to move left. In KSysGuard and System Activity the CPU bars simply always move left. Tested on Debian-12 with KDE-5.27.2. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469652 Add a new page icon mess up in plasma-systemmonitor Not a bug, but feature parity: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469305 missing KSysGuard feature in Plasma-Systemmonitor (regexp / regular expressions) Maybe related: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469315 System Monitor Plasmoid has artifacts with Intel Integrated Graphics in Wayland Maybe related: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463114 System monitor sensor - Disk usage widget forgets sensors
Now in Plasma 6, it does.
