Resources

Resources is a simple yet powerful monitor for your system resources and processes, written in Rust and using GTK 4 and libadwaita for its GUI. It’s capable of displaying usage and details of your CPU, memory, GPUs, NPUs, network interfaces and block devices. It’s also capable of listing and terminating running graphical applications as well as processes.

Installing

The official and only supported way of installing Resources is using Flatpak. Simply use your graphical software manager like GNOME Software or Discover to install Resources from Flathub or type flatpak install flathub net.nokyan.Resources in your terminal. Please keep in mind that you need to have Flathub set up on your device. You can find out how to set up Flathub here.

Unofficial Packages

Resources has been packaged for some Linux distributions by volunteers. Keep in mind that these are not supported. If you’re packaging Resources for another distribution, feel free to send a pull request to add your package to this list!

Arch Linux

Unofficially packaged in the extra repository.

You can install Resources using pacman with no further configuration required.

pacman -S resources

Fedora

Unofficially packaged in Copr for Fedora 39 and newer.

You first need to enable the atim/resources Copr repository and then use dnf to install Resources.

dnf copr enable atim/resources
dnf install resources

Building

You can also build Resources yourself using either Meson directly or preferably using Flatpak Builder.

Build Dependencies

• glib-2.0 ≥ 2.66
• gio-2.0 ≥ 2.66
• gtk-4 ≥ 4.10
• libadwaita-1 ≥ 1.6
• cargo

Other dependencies are handled by cargo. Resources’ minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) is 1.80.0.

Runtime Dependencies

These dependencies are not needed to build Resources but Resources may lack certain functionalities when they are not present.

• systemd (needed for app detection using cgroups)
• polkit (needed for executing privileged actions like killing certain processes)

Building Using Flatpak Builder

flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk//47 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//24.08 org.gnome.Platform//47 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm18//24.08
flatpak-builder --user flatpak_app build-aux/net.nokyan.Resources.Devel.json

If you use GNOME Builder or Visual Studio Code with the Flatpak extension, Resources can be built and run automatically.

Building Natively Using Meson

meson . build --prefix=/usr/local
ninja -C build install

Running

Running Resources is as simple as typing flatpak run net.nokyan.Resources into a terminal or running it from your app launcher. If you’ve built Resources natively or installed it from a traditional package manager such as apt or dnf, or if you’ve built Resources yourself, typing resources in a terminal will start Resources. If you’ve built Resources as a Flatpak, type flatpak-builder --run flatpak_app build-aux/net.nokyan.Resources.Devel.json resources into your terminal or use one of the aforementioned IDEs to do that automatically.
