Optimizer

Find out what's eating up your system resources and delete unnecessary files from your disk.

Current State Of The Project

⚠️ This project is currently unmaintained. It is still possible to install Optimizer manually on the elementary OS (tested on elementary OS 6.1). For more information, see #93 (comment).

Installation instructions

Dependencies

These dependencies must be present before building:

• meson
• valac
• debhelper
• libgranite-dev
• libgtk-3-dev
• libgtop2-dev
• libwnck-3-dev

Use the following command to install the dependencies on elementary OS:

sudo apt install elementary-sdk libgtop2-dev libwnck-3-dev

Use the following command to install the dependencies on other Debian-based systems:

sudo apt install meson valac appstream-util libgranite-dev libgtop2-dev libwnck-3-dev

Building

git clone https://github.com/hannesschulze/optimizer.git && cd optimizer
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja

To install, use ninja install, then execute with com.github.hannesschulze.optimizer:

sudo ninja install
com.github.hannesschulze.optimizer

Using the fallback theme

If you don't use elementary OS, the CPU-, memory- and disk-usage view styles might look out of place. If this is the case, recompile Optimizer using the following commands (still in the build directory) to enable a flat style:

meson configure -Duse_fallback_theme=true
ninja

After recompiling the app, Optimizer also needs to be reinstalled (see "Building").

Credits

• Stacer: This project is heavily inspired by Stacer (written in Qt). Optimizer aims to provide some of the features in an elementary app with native Gtk widgets.
• Monitor: Some of the logic for the process list is from Monitor, which is another elementary app. Optimizer is using some of the code in a simplified version - other than Monitor it just uses a process list instead of a neat tree view. Definitely check out this project if you want a monitor!
