#### See every detail of your processor, graphics, memory and drives

Everything your computer can tell you about itself, in one window — from the
processor down to the last thing plugged into a USB port. No terminal, no
commands to remember.

Nine tabs, and a live view across the top that shows what every processor
core is doing right now.

* Processor: sockets, cores and threads, each core with its own clock
* Cache levels drawn to scale, and which cores share them
* Code name, generation and manufacturing process
* Graphics: every card and chip, with clock, temperature and load live
* The connected monitor: make, model, size and its native resolution
* Mainboard, chipset, BIOS and firmware type
* Memory: every module with size, speed, part number and timings
* Drives: capacity, partitions, free space, read and write speed live
* PCI: which card sits in which slot, and how fast it is connected
* USB: every device on every port, with its speed and power draw
* Network: addresses, link speed, traffic per second, Wi-Fi signal
* Temperatures, fan speeds and voltages, named by where they sit
* Saves the whole report as a text file you can send on
* 44 languages, light and dark theme, colours to your taste

▶ ONE-TIME SETUP

Snap packages may only see very little of the computer at first. Without the
one-time setup below these stay empty: mainboard and BIOS details, all
sensors and temperatures, and the network interfaces.

One command grants read access. It downloads nothing, installs nothing and
changes none of your data — the app may only see more, not do more:

sudo sh -c 'for i in hardware-observe system-observe network-observe; do snap connect jscpuinspector:$i; done'

The app tells you the same thing on first start and offers to copy the
command for you. It works without it; the affected entries simply stay empty
and say so. No restart needed — a click on Refresh is enough. To undo, use
"snap disconnect" instead of "snap connect".

▶ WHAT THIS SNAP CANNOT DO

A Snap is never allowed to ask for the administrator password, and two things
need it: the health data of your drives — wear, spare capacity, power-on
hours, written and read totals — and the serial numbers of the machine and
its parts. Everything else is there. For those two as well, use the .deb,
RPM, Flatpak or AppImage version from www.budbrain.de — there the app can ask
for the password and read them.

Supported systems:

* Any Linux desktop with X11 or Wayland
* x86\_64 (64-bit)

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install jsCPUInspector

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
