- Linux-only app

- "Target audience: Advanced users"

- GUI only, no CLI

something does not add up there

Plenty of GUI apps target advanced users.

I use CLI tools when CLI tools make sense, GUI tools when GUI tools make sense.

(This has a graph, so a GUI doesn’t seem unreasonable)

I’d like to have a console version of FSM in the future, but I simply don’t have the time - including the time to work on it. As for the GUI, I want to develop FSM as a program for monitoring PC status, including graphs for sensors (temperature, RPM, frequency, etc.), the battery, network, and other metrics, and creating graphs in the console version isn’t very practical.

And it's built in Rust so it's AI generated

And how are Rust and AI connected?

Most software for advanced users are GUI based.

It also needs systemd. So it is more a "systemd app" than a "linux app".

No, you're misleading people. systemd is not a required dependency for this program; it's only needed for one page (the system manager), and the rest of the application will work even on systems without systemd.

everything is now in rust

I've created a similar tool

But it's multi-platform (Linux, Windows and some BSDs), more capable and even skinable so looks even cooler than this.

i dont really care about "advanced features" looks cool so i like it lol
