Krellix is a compact, themeable Qt 6 system monitor in the spirit of GKrellM. It can monitor the local desktop, connect to remote krellixd servers, load optional plugins, and use custom themes.

Nice. The GKrellM shape still makes sense: narrow, always-visible, lots of little signals without becoming a dashboard cathedral.

The remote krellixd bit is the part I would kick hardest. If it can show a couple of headless boxes without dragging in a web stack, that is genuinely useful. Bonus points if the protocol is boring, documented, and easy to firewall. Half the old monitor tools were good because you could understand the whole failure mode before coffee.
