• I NEED HELP! How can I fix this?

  I use an app to check system temps: OpenHardwareMonitor. Some people like SpeedFan, does most of the same stuff. Source: over 1 year ago

• Question - Are the loading times supposed to be this bad right now??

  That's not super common (but it does happen ofc). It might be worth running a tool to scan the drive and take a peek at the SMART data. I typically use Speedfan https://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Computer has come back from a repair shop wiped and is missing A vital app I used to control fan speeds and I cant redownload it. Any alternative apps?

  You'll get better gpu support from Afterburner, but if you have a weird chipset or an incompatible fan controller, good old SpeedFan still has a few tricks. Source: almost 2 years ago

• SSD and HDD usage goes to 100% for the simplest processes

  Check disk health with speedfan from http://almico.com/speedfan.php. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Computer Software for me :)

  Speedfan Freeware gives you some info about your temps, but its mostly used to set up your custom fan control, such as increasing rpm of your front intake fans when temp of GPU and/or CPU reaches a certain point and much more, how much you can do with it depends on the fan controller chip that is used on your mainboard, so you mileage may vary.

• Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

  This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine on Steam Deck Desktop Mode.

  There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an alternative to wallpaper engine on Linux for gnome

  Theres also numerous Gnome extensions for Wallpapers, and I have been using this http://peterlevi.com/variety. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine alternative on Linux Mint

  I really like Variety: https://peterlevi.com/variety/ (I don't think you can grab animated wallpaper, but maybe you can). I actually use it to grab images from r/SkyPorn, r/EarthPorn, r/waterporn, r/DessertPorn & r/EarthPorn. Source: about 2 years ago

• Last time it took me 30 minutes

  Pfff... Or you can just use Variety and eliminate the need to even download new wallpapers altogether. 🙄. Source: about 2 years ago
