[Feature Request] Linux version

[undefinedactive]

What does your feature request improve on?

The feature would allow linux users to use the software.

Linux version of the software can be packaged in different ways: tar, Flatpak, AppImage, Snap, distro specific package (deb, rpm),...

It should be possible since this is just Java under the hood. We would need to read the sensors however they're available at Linux though

I can simply distribute a deb but it wouldn't read anything

MangoHud is quite popular on linux for monitoring, maybe this can be used under the hood?

I can definitely have a look at how they pull info. Thanks for sharing!

Alright so I had a quick look at MangoHud, that seems a complete behemoth I cannot possibly copy over. However they seem to to offer logging, that could be a solution. Couldn't find anything related to the shared memory or API just like HWInfo or MSI do. If anyone has any insight I'd be grateful

Hey @Danil0v3s, I'll try to take a look at it around this weekend, will let you know if I make some progress.

The author of MangoHud said here that logging to a file then reading would be the best option, then there's this feature request from 2023 which requests the shared memory.

We could start off by reading the logs until someone with better C++ knowledge than me shows up and is willing to open a PR there with the shared memory fature thing...
