We need a tutorial on EWW-bar.
EWW is a rabbit hole... yack...
As a guy who has never used any bar, I upvote this because Rust
EWW in general I want to learn how to make a dashboard 😅
Try the default config for polybar and see if the resource are normal.
If it is, it's probably a module or a script that you are using.
Check your refresh interval. If it’s too frequent, then it draws too much processing power.
Polybar launched on KDE.
IPC is enabled.
Poll intervals in modules are 60 (those modules which have them).
Memory - 3Mb, Shared memory - 19.5 Mb.
Is this a lot?
Cpu usage are higher though
@@DaEpic subjectively i do not see difference between polybar and no polybar, it's somewhere under 1% i guess. I just killed it and nothing changed. Maybe mine is not overloaded with stuff? idk
I have archcraft with openbox/bspwm and polylbar running on my old junk laptop. Even with archcrafts riced out configs polybar uses less than 1% of my intel atom z3600 processor (which idles at about 25% on stock gnome with nothing open), and less than 0.5% of my 4gb ram.
I think you're probbaly having problems with some script that polybar is running or something.
Checking now. Cinnamon seems OK. You should see back in the X Windows days.... That was a beast.
My Polybar is using close to nothing, and it's pretty bloated (xmonad, multiple monitors, system tray and more)
Polybar is barely taking any resources at all for me right now, i have quite a few monitors with different settings and fully riced up
I daily drive Hyprland and I love Waybar.
I started out with dwm+slstatus but now that I switched to wayland I just have a simple shell script to fetch what I want. I have looked at waybar but it just looks like a pain to configure
I've heard one other person say that they found it a pain to configure. But I find it easy with the CSS and JSON. I suppose it's because I'm a web developer so I know the CSS and JSON needed for the configuration. I guess if you're not a web developer, I can understand it's a bit more challenging.
Its unpopular these days and is a little resource hungry but latte-dock
Once i figure out the system tray on eww i’ll probably switch to it then
I use more or less default config and I get 0% CPU usage with no programs open...
Chris, what bar did you say you are using?
Eww bar i guess
my polybar uses 20M memory, seems to be quite fine
I think he was talking about cpu usage
that seems like a lot
i checked mine and it uses 28mb, and mine doesn't even do much, it just shows my bspwm workspaces, the active window title, my ram usage, and the current time
i feel like 10mb should be the absolute maximum for something like that
@@Lounes378 ah possible, but I don''t even see any cpu usage.. but then that obviously depends on configs
@@shallex5744 I thought so as well at first but honestly I am not familiar with many gui apps that are smaller. something like xclock takes 10mb. But as soon as you use some kind of advanced graphics/fonts library (cairo in this case, probably for antialiasing) and other libraries embedded for the stuff you can use in your polybar you're probably going to get to that amount
@@peterheggs512 i use dmenu, and i like their philosophy that you should compile in the changes that you want, so the bar is very minimal and only contains the things you want at compile time and nothing else. i wonder if there is a bar that follows that philosophy as well. possibly suckless' own dwmblocks? i haven't looked into it
Why are people so okay with sacrificing their screen space with something ugly and distracting like a bar? OSD is the way to go imo.
This doesn't take any resources unless it's there displaying something, and then the process terminates. Launch as needed with whatever info to display as you want.
What is OSD
OSD and real-time monitoring are not exacty compatible.
Also you known some people may have different need than you do. (real time monitoring again)
