Linux kernel version checker for the system tray
Keeps an eye on kernel.org and shows the latest Linux kernel versions right in your system tray.
What it does:
- Shows the current kernel version in the tray at a glance
- Tux turns green as soon as a newer kernel is released
- Compares the kernel you are running with the latest mainline, stable and longterm releases
- Latest Changes: read what actually changed in the newest release of the channel you follow
- System & Modules: your running kernel, the kernels installed next to it, and every loaded kernel module with its details
- Choose which channel the tray follows: mainline, stable or longterm
- Mark an update as seen to clear the notification
To see the loaded kernel modules, allow one read-only permission: sudo snap connect jstuxchecker:system-observe
The app tells you this in the window itself and offers the command for copying.
Requirements:
- A Linux desktop with a system tray (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, MATE, Cinnamon)
- On GNOME: AppIndicator extension (Ubuntu: enabled by default)
- x86_64 (64-bit)
