### Features:
- Detailed system performance and usage usage monitoring/managing features:
- Monitoring CPU, RAM, Disk, Network, GPU hardware/usage information
- Monitoring and managing processes and services (systemd)
- Monitoring users, sensors and general system information
- Supports PolicyKit. No need to run the application with "sudo"
- Hardware selection options (selecting CPU cores, disks, network cards, GPUs)
- Plotting performance data of multiple devices at the same time
- Interactive charts for querying performance data on any point
- Option for showing processes as tree or list
- Optimized for low CPU usage
- Customization menus for almost all tabs
- Supports ARM architecture
- Hardware accelerated GUI
- Free and open source
### Installation:
- There are several options for using System Monitoring Center:
- Installing from Flatpak ([Details](docs/flatpak.md))
- Installing from application stores (Pardus Application Center, Pi-Apps Store)
- Installing from repositories of distributions
- ~~Installing from PyPI as a Python package.~~ There will be no new packages on PyPI ([Details](docs/uninstall_pypi_package.md))
- Running from source code:
- For SMC v2: in ```src/``` folder, run: ```python3 ./run_from_source.py```
- For SMC v1: in ```src/``` folder, run: ```python3 ./Main.py```
### Dependencies:

#### Dependencies
There is no need to install these dependencies for installing the application from Flatpak.
For other installation types:
- For System Monitoring Center v2.x.x:
- `dmidecode, gir1.2-adw-1, gir1.2-glib-2.0, gir1.2-gtk-4.0, gir1.2-pango-1.0, hwdata, iproute2, python3 (>=3.6), python3-cairo, python3-gi, python3-gi-cairo, util-linux (>=2.31)`
- For System Monitoring Center v1.x.x:
- `dmidecode, hwdata, iproute2, procps (>=3.3), python3 (>=3.6), python3-cairo, python3-gi, python3-gi-cairo, util-linux (>=2.31)`
- Following dependencies may be required on some systems:
- `libcairo2-dev` (for systems with .deb packages)
- `polkit` (for Arch Linux)
- Optional dependencies:
- `vcgencmd` (for physical RAM size, GPU frequency and video memory information on Raspberry Pi devices)
- `x11-xserver-utils` or `xorg-xrandr` (for more accurate screen resolution and refresh rate detection of System Monitoring Center v1.x.x)

### Limitations and Known Issues:
Show
---
#### Limitations
- GPU usage information availability depends on vendor/driver.
- GPU load is not tracked if GPU tab is switched off (for lower CPU usage).
- Virtual machines may not provide CPU min-max frequencies, sensors and RAM hardware information.
- Non-Flatpak versions of the application has higher performance (start speed, CPU, RAM usage).
- GTK4 (used for SMC v2) consumes about 2x RAM when compared to GTK3 (used for SMC v1).
- Running SMC v1 after SMC v2 resets application settings
#### Known Issues
- Expander/Collapser arrows do not work sometimes if processes are listes as tree (Processes tab).
Issue
- Tab customization menus are not closed when clicked outside of the popover menu after using a dropdown menu on the popover menu.
- This is a GTK4 bug. These menus can be closed by using `Esc` key.
