Task Manager App Resources 1.9.0 Added Intel Xe Driver Support

Resources, the modern task manager and system monitor app for Linux desktop, released new 1.9.0 version few days ago.

The new release of this free open-source application added more languages support, more display options, bug-fixes and improvements.

Resources is a GNOME application allowing to monitor and control running processes and apps, and check the utilization of your system resources.

Like Windows’ task manager app, it provides a modern interface to monitor the memory, CPU, and GPU usage for each running app/process, along with option to kill or halt the selected task.

It as well has a β€œShow App/Process Information” option in bottom, to display more, such as swap, drive read/write, video memory/encoder/decoder usage, as well as app ID, running time, etc properties.

In the new 1.9.0 release, the process view page supports β€œCommandline” column to display command for each process, though you need to enable the feature in Preference dialog.

For Intel users, the release also added the Intel xe driver support. It’s the modern replacement for the older i915 driver, that was introduced since Linux Kernel 6.8, and may be enabled by default for the newest hardware with Kernel 6.17.

With the new xe driver, the app supports reading the GPU frequency, power and temperature for Intel GPUs.

For Wi-Fi devices, the release now displays the Link information about the connected network, Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6, 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz, as well as the maximum send/receive speed.

To display Link information, the app needs β€œnetwork access” permission for Flatpak package, though it does not connect to the Internet in any way. And, if you don’t need this information, just disable β€œnetwork access”.

Other changes in the release include:

  • Add Bulgarian, Finnish, Hebrew and Slovenian translations.
  • Halt graphical updates when it is not in view to save on power.
  • Show uptime in CPU view..
  • Add PCIe 7.0 and PCIe 8.0 (though not released) devices support.
  • And more, see official release note for details.

How to Install Resources system monitor and task manager

Resources is available to install in most Linux on amd64 and arm64 platforms through Flatpak package which runs in sandbox environment.

Linux Mint and Fedora Workstation may simply search & install the package from either Software Manager or GNOME Software.

While Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux can install the package by following the steps below one by one:

  • First, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. When it opens, run command to install Flatpak daemon:
    sudo apt install flatpak

    For other Linux, see the official setup guide to enable Flatpak support.

  • Then, run command to install Resources flatpak package:
    flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/net.nokyan.Resources.flatpakref

After installed the package, either search for and launch from GNOME Overview (log out and back in of app icon not visible), or run the command below to start from terminal:

flatpak run net.nokyan.Resources

And, you may replace run in last command with update to check & install updates.

Uninstall Resources

To uninstall the system monitor app, use command:

flatpak uninstall --delete-data net.nokyan.Resources

Also run flatpak uninstall --unused to remove useless Flatpak run-time libraries to free up some disk space.
