I am on KDE Plasma 5.27.5. When I try to open the Applications in the System Monitor I am getting the message Applications View is unsupported on your system.
What I see is “qml: Implementation matching Desktop Environment Integration was not found. ApplicationsView will not be available.” I am on Artix Linux with openrc and no systemd.
Is it possible systemmonitor is somehow hardcoded for systemd? I don’t think it’s likely, but it’s something to check. (I’m not at my Gentoo system, where checking the source would be easy. I also don’t know if this works on that system or not, and won’t be able to check for a few days.)
Well, I posted before doing enough searching. This is a know issue for any system not running systemd. There is an open KDE bug asking to just not show the page at all in such cases, but apparently that’s not easy due to how the page gets loaded. Since it seems to me the actual requirement is cgroups being run/used in a particular way (the systemd way, obviously) I wonder if it is possible to configure a PC with cgroups without systemd to meet the actual requirements for the page to work
