• What it is

A “works on whatever I throw this in” solution as a system monitor (SDL 2= works on both wayland and X11. Plus, it doesn’t even need a window manager to run – which is breddy gucci.). It has a pretty rough memory usage (10 times as much compared to btop), but its CPU usage compensates for it.

• Who is this for

Mainly distro hoppers.

• Why

Because “it just werks” and is “futureproof”'ish – might last a couple decades before it gets irrelevant.

• Dependencies

  Debian/Ubuntu : sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev

  Fedora : sudo dnf install gcc make SDL2-devel

  Arch : sudo pacman -S base-devel sdl2

  Alpine : sudo apk add build-base sdl2-dev

  macOS : brew install sdl2

  FreeBSD : pkg install sdl2 gmake

• How to compile

After decompressing the tarball and downloading the dependencies,

make -j$(nproc)

Then run with

./notasysmon

That should do it. For more info, check the “README.md” file.
