I measured GPU usage using nvtop The system has an integrated AMD GPU There is a Network Speed bargraph widget on the panel, as well as Total CPU Usage, and Memory Usage With the panel set to always show, GPU mem% was steady around .85Gi/2Gi and GPU% was 0 With the panel set to auto hide, GPU mem% was the same, but gpu% was between 25 and 30% consistently, with no application windows open other than Konsole Showing the panel dropped GPU% to 0, and allowing it to auto-hide sent it back up to 25 - 30% I'm not able to replicate with a default panel set to auto hide on another git-master system with an integrated Intel and dedicated NVIDIA GPU. I noticed that in the screenshot, there are a few system monitor widgets on the panel. I added the Network Speed widget, but saw no change I tried adding the same System Monitor widgets as on the other system I tested on above, but still couldn't reproduce -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
