GPU-VIEWER(1)

📦 version 3.35, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, meet gpu-viewer — it's a GUI front-end for glxinfo, vulkaninfo, clinfo, es2_info and vdpauinfo. yes, all five. she's an overachiever 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gpu-viewer

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, she just goes ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

GPU-Viewer is a graphical user interface that consolidates and displays important GPU-related info from a whole lil squad of command-line tools, namely:

  • glxinfo
  • vulkaninfo
  • clinfo
  • es2_info
  • vdpauinfo (X11 only, bestie — she doesn't do Wayland for this one)

The way it extracts and presents all that data in a structured, user-friendly manner without you needing to know literally anything about OpenGL programming? iconic. chef's kiss. you just open it and it's all there 🎀

The application is written in Python 3 using PyGObject with GTK4, and it relies on the underlying tools to function correctly. so like, if those tools aren't installed, she can't manifest the info out of thin air. lowkey important. ngl 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

not me having to tell you this: the program does not accept any command-line options. she launches directly into the graphical interface. no flags, no negotiation, no "what if I just—". periodt. 💅

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/bin/gpu-viewer — the executable binary. the main character herself. 👑
  • /usr/share/gpu-viewer/ — application data and resources. all her stuff lives here. 🌸
