Stacer - Qt5-based system monitor/optimizer...
Evening, all.
Now then; this is Stacer. "What is Stacer?", I hear you ask...
---------------------------------------
Stacer is referred to by its creator as a combination system monitor & 'optimizer'. By which the latter means you can use it to organize/rearrange/activate/de-activate background processes & services, as well as watching what your system is doing.

I discovered it earlier through a post in the Linux & Unix Forum over at BleepingComputer, as one of our members had posted about it this afternoon.
I know you'll all moan about the size of the thing. Yes, once again, it's NOT a 'traditional' Puppy-sized/stripped application; with the Qt5 stuff, in particular, this thing's over 70 MB in size. It IS, however, in keeping with the steady, inexorable rise in hardware resources I keep referring to. Where once 4 GB RAM meant you were "rich", these days it's considered an absolute bare minimum that will give a very basic, lack-luster experience.....16/32 GB is becoming 'the norm', and some of these guys are now setting themselves up with 64 GB of the stuff.....
I've even come across one or two folks that are crowing about running with 128 GB of RAM. I kid you not..!! (As a comparison, ye anciente Dell lappie originally came with just 128 MB when we bought it all the way back in 2002.....and a small, 20 GB, 4200 rpm PATA/IDE hard drive. How times change!)
(^shakes head in amazement...*)
---------------------------------------
Anyway. Appearance-wise, it's nothing to write home about; it sports the popular 'flat' look that I personally loathe, but, beggars can't be choosers! 
I was going to do a wee vid to demo what it'll do, but there's no need; the link above has a vid at the top of the page that'll do that. (The actual demo starts around 2:08 - everything prior to that is about installing the thing):-
Some of the stuff - like Services, and Uninstall, don't show up in Puppy....but then they don't seem to show up in the demo vid either, so can't say. Services, I'll hazard a guess is the systemd stuff, and Uninstall, well; 10 to 1 I'm betting it's expecting Synaptic. It's quite possible these functions might work in the Dogs.
I've had to create an extra launcher inside the 'stacer' directory, along with adding an 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' so's it can find its own libs. The Qt5 stuff is all there, but it just wasn't seeing them; with that addition, it all fell into place.
--------------------------------------
Yes, there are lighter and more comprehensive apps about for this, but it never hurts to keep up with what the 'mainstream' community is using.....and as y'all know by now, my policy is to always provide as wide a choice as I possibly can.
This works under Xenialpup64, Bionicpup64 and Fossapup64.
There's an SFS, and a self-contained 'portable', too. Both can be found, along with MD5sums, at the Drive, here:-

Help yourselves to the one you want.
Enjoy.
