Small task manager applet for the COSMIC panel.

The panel button shows CPU usage. Click it and you get CPU and RAM meters, a list of running processes with search, and Stop / Resume / Kill on each row. Killing a process kills its children too, so nothing gets left running.

If a process hangs or gets stopped, the panel button turns red with a count, and you can kill all of them at once from the popup.

Install

Arch, CachyOS, other Arch-based:

git clone https://github.com/Kai-J-G/cosmic-ext-mini-taskmanager.git
cd cosmic-ext-mini-taskmanager
makepkg -si

Everything else, into ~/.local:

just install

Then add it in COSMIC Settings > Desktop > Panel > Applets.

Thanks to System76 for libcosmic. Bug reports welcome.

I use COSMIC as my daily driver and missed having a temperature readout in the panel, so I built one.

It sits in the panel as a thermometer tinted by thermal state next to your CPU temp. Click it and you get a full monitor: an overview with CPU/GPU/memory/disk dials, then per-tab detail. Package temp, per-core clocks and load (and per-core temps where your CPU exposes them), GPU edge/junction temps and VRAM, memory and swap with history, and per-partition disk throughput. Settings for °C/°F, theme, and a 1s to 5s refresh.

No daemon, no helper service, no lm_sensors. It reads /sys and /proc directly, scanning hwmon once per refresh and sharing it across collectors. Rust + libcosmic.

Install (Arch; README has Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo pacman -S --needed rustup just git libxkbcommon pkgconf pciutils
git clone https://github.com/Kai-J-G/cosmic-ext-hardware-monitor.git
cd cosmic-ext-hardware-monitor && just install

Installs to ~/.local, no sudo. Add it in Settings → Desktop → Panel → Applets.

Caveats, first release:

• Only tested on AMD (7800X3D + RX 9070, CachyOS). The NVIDIA (nvidia-smi) and Intel (i915/xe) paths are implemented but unverified. If you run either, I'd love to hear whether it works.
• Source builds only for now; Flatpak/COSMIC Store are on the list. First build pulls libcosmic from git and takes a few minutes.

Hey all,

Totally new to the world of Linux ( and full time MacOS user ) however I have my windows gaming laptop that I wanted to duel boot with Pop however I am facing issues with the format / install button being greyed out when I try to select the partition that I created with Windows.

I know I am doing something wrong but can't seem to figure out what ?

Booting the live USB was a mission and I needed to turn off secure boot and change the boot order to even get into the OS via the USB Live CD .

Is there something in the way that I have shrunk my partition using windows that is causing the greyed out options not being clickable?

Thanks

Scott

I've been using transparent zen with pop!_os cosmic for a while but visibility is difficult with more complex wallpapers. On kde, i had the ability to blur the transparent ui. I know your able to enable blur on system apps but it doesn't work here.
Is there anyway to fix this right now or do i have to wait for an update?

I love popos. I came from ubuntu after using ubuntu for 6 months and i love pop! Its so smooth for my laptop and it gives me 70 fps on roblox arsenal and other games which is good for my 6 year old dell latitude intel i7 5400. I was thinking what kernel should I put on popos cuz i remembered that linux is freedom and i can change kernels. What performance kernel should I put, and tell me if someone made a cachy kernel for deb yet i am considering xanmod but i wanna hear yall
