I want to change the app for years, since KDE4.0.
But in the past I have found only one plasmoid getting close to gkrellm (Yasp), and none offered all the functions I am using with gkrellm (for instance, alerts when limits are reached for more than X secs in a row for fans, temps, cpu load, disk usage, disk read/write throughput (I/O), and also the cumulative network transfers that can be reset at a specific date (monthly and daily) and others). I'm sure some could be used to offer the functions but I am not very good at developing that. The original creator of YASP once told me it was not possible to have alerts with his plasmoid. Or much too complex.
Maybe it changed in the past year and a half or so, it's still on my to do list to some day find another app like gkrellm, mostly cuz the GUI does not fit at all with KDE and not even with Ubuntu anyway. So far all have failed my tests based on the usage I do with monitors. I tried to change my ways but I failed too. loll
