GlouOS 1.0

GlouOS graduates to 1.0 - the biggest release yet.

Added

  • Tabs in the File Explorer. Ctrl+T opens a tab, Ctrl+W closes it,
    Ctrl+Tab cycles, middle-click any folder to open it in a new tab, and
    every tab keeps its own back/forward history. Drag tabs to reorder.
  • Thumbnails. Pictures finally look like pictures - images render live
    thumbnail previews in both icon and details view, generated in the
    background so browsing huge folders stays instant.
  • A proper conflict dialog. Pasting over existing files now asks
    Replace / Skip / Keep both, Windows style. Replace even sends the old
    file to the Recycle Bin instead of destroying it.
  • Batch rename. Select a pile of files, press F2, type "Holiday" - get
    Holiday, Holiday (2), Holiday (3)... and Ctrl+Z puts every name back.
  • Selection size at a glance. The status bar shows the combined size of
    whatever you've selected.
  • Task Manager, levelled up. Every process now shows its app icon, a
    search-as-you-type filter finds the misbehaving app instantly, and
    right-click gains Efficiency mode - down-prioritises a hog's CPU and
    disk access, marked with a leaf, exactly like Windows 11.
  • A GPU column in the Task Manager. On AMD systems, Processes and
    Details show live per-app GPU usage with the same heat-map shading - see
    exactly which game (or browser tab pile) is hammering your card.
  • Storage. A new app in GlouOS Settings shows per-drive usage bars and
    what's actually eating your space: every installed Steam game
    individually, shader caches, Proton prefixes, the package cache, Flatpak
    and your home folders - with one-click cleanups for the safe stuff
    (Recycle Bin, old package versions, shader caches, thumbnails).
  • FPS overlay switch. One toggle in the Game Center turns the MangoHud
    FPS overlay on or off for every game - no launch options, no config
    files.
  • The Game Center catches game-breaking faults. The Performance advisor
    now detects a missing Vulkan driver for your GPU (the thing that makes
    every Proton game crash on launch - with a one-click install), a missing
    32-bit Vulkan driver, driver setup that never finished during
    installation, and missing swap/zram. Breakage warnings sort above the
    tips.
  • Task Manager heat map + process search and a Recycle Bin in the
    File Explorer sidebar with per-item Restore and one-click Empty.
  • Folder sizes in Properties, including file and folder counts.

Fixed

  • The GPU graph shows your actual GPU. On systems with more than one
    GPU (a Radeon card plus the CPU's built-in graphics, say), the Task
    Manager was graphing the idle integrated GPU - a flat line - instead of
    the card doing the work. Every GPU now gets its own entry with its real
    name, live utilization, VRAM usage and temperature, discrete card first.
