GPU load is not tracked if GPU tab is switched off (for lower CPU usage). Virtual machines may not provide CPU min-max frequencies, sensors and RAM hardware information. Non-Flatpak versions of the application has higher performance (start speed, CPU, RAM usage). Notes for Flatpak Support: Flatpak version of the application uses some permissions (like not sandboxed) to access performance/system information of the host OS. Flatpak package of the application may be installed for system-wide instead of user-specific for avoiding source code modifications.
