How To Install gnome-shell-extension-freon on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install gnome-shell-extension-freon
on Fedora 36.
What is gnome-shell-extension-freon
Freon is a GNOME Shell extension for displaying the temperature of your CPU, hard disk, solid state, and video card (NVIDIA, Catalyst, and Bumblebee supported), as well as power supply voltage, and fan speed. You can choose which HDD/SSD or other devices to include, what temperature units to use, and how often to refresh the sensors readout, and they will appear in the GNOME Shell top bar. NOTE that if you want to see GPU temperature, you will need to install the vendor’s driver and any related packages. (Nouveau unfortunately won’t work for Nvidia cards.) * hard drive temperatures requires udisks2, or smartmontools, or both hddtemp and GNU netcat. (udisks2 should already be installed by default on Fedora Workstation, but if you want to use hddtemp instead, you will need to install it and netcat yourself, and enable the hddtemp daemon.) * Nvidia GPU temperatures require the
nvidia-settings
application, typically installed with the proprietary Nvidia drivers. * Bumblebee + Nvidia requiresoptirun
. * AMD GPU temperatures requiresaticonfig
, part of AMD Radeon Software (formerly known as AMD Catalyst).
