GPU USAGE WAYBAR

This is a simple tool I made to add GPU usage to Waybar.

It is compatible with both NVIDIA and AMD cards

Installation

Requirements

• For NVIDIA, you need the NVML library installed

• For AMD, the tool just uses the sysfs interface; you shouldn't need to install anything

Installation

Install with cargo

cargo install gpu-usage-waybar

Usage

Add a custom module to Waybar

Add a module to the top of the config specifying where the module should be positioned

"modules-left": ["...", "custom/gpu-usage", "..."]

Add the custom module to the config

"custom/gpu-usage": {
  "format": "{} {icon}",
  "exec": "gpu-usage-waybar",
  "return-type": "json",
  "format-icons": "󰾲",
  "on-click": "kitty nvtop",
}

The crate also has a configuration file (located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gpu-usage-waybar/config.toml) which can be used to set various options about the output.

Bear in mind that args passed to the command line will override the configuration file
