Stacer: Linux System Optimizer and Monitoring

Hi, I am oguzhaninan I am rewriting the new version with c ++. It will use a maximum of 20 mb ram. In a very short time, I will release the new version with more features.

Ugh... I haven't used this, but in general management GUIs are a cheap veneer over the goodness of Linux. You're still going to need the terminal when things break or just can't be done with the GUI.

I will admit that I started managing Linux through GUIs, but ultimately CLI utilities and configuration files lead to a deeper understanding and a wider set of options.

Run Arch Linux for a few months and you'll get over the textual interface hump.

This one is probably a bad example (there are some warning signs). But for people who don't get computers (willfully or not) it's useful to have things like this. There is a large portion of the market who is going to want things like this. And as Linux becomes more popular we can either build good ones and recommend them on all of the swap to Linux websites (or include them by default in common consumer oriented distributions) - a lesson windows learned - or deal with a ton of shitty adware infested bloatware variations. People are going to download things like these, and it's a question of whether they will be good ones or malicious ones.

While it looks nice, I can't find any use in it :-/

I mean those desktop widgets displaying CPU/Mem usage integrate much better into the desktop. If you want to uninstall something you should better know what you are doing and the same goes for init jobs...

Don't get me wrong I love visual tools as long as they do something better than their cli equivalents. For example, I am a huge fan of filelight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filelight because it enables quick insights about disk usage.

Oh boy. Reminds me of the classic "Windows optimizers" complete with set of badges from various "quality websites". In case you are not familiar with the category, generally you were lucky if they only left your system in subtly half-broken state. Because the other, possibly more common, alternative was that the software was used to drop in a bucketful of malware.

How "big" is it? I'm just wondering what space do these Electron apps take. It's great to see such "Windows" apps in Linux at last. I just hope it won't be 300MB per app.

My first thought was that Electron and Node would be pretty heavyweight for this use case. I'm curious to know if anyone who's tried it is seeing the app itself dominate a CPU. I'm hoping not, because it does look really nice!
