   I love my #KDE #Plasma System Monitor sensors! 🤩

     I simply added three System Monitor Sensor widgets with transparent background and minor tweaks to the presets for CPU, GPU and Network monitoring.

     Pretty. What are you using?

     @codewiz installing a new #linuxserver here. #btop looks really nice on this :D

     @bekopharm Yeah, btop rocks. Did you know that it's a C.rewrote of a Python rewrite of a Bash script?

     @dropbear42 I wonder if you're using a filesystem without dirsync support, or with dirsync turned off by default?

     That happened twice. The most recent fsckup was that after an ostensibly routine morning Resume of my Wayland session from Suspend, W crashed, & after login, had lost 1 of my 2 Activities, & ALL my widgets.

     I'll never trust them again. I reverted to my battle-hardened many-years-old five desktop Conkies, which are reliable AND give me more info anyway. Also, unlike the widgets, they are easily backed-up & copied to other pooters.

     @codewiz Yes they look nice, & are functional. Sadly though, for me, they're unreliable over the longer term.

     Thrice in the past 12-18 mths, i created multiple widgets like yours. It took hours each time [complexity of discerning which fan speed & ssd/cpu sensors were the right ones.] Each time, at the end, they looked fabulous, & i was very chuffed...

     ...until Plasma ate them. One "trick" of P was that post-reboot, it forgot ALL my widget customisations & reset them to default.
