GPU-T is a Linux desktop utility for comprehensive GPU information and monitoring, positioned as a GPU-Z alternative for Linux. It provides real-time sensor data (clocks, temperatures, power, fan speeds), static hardware specifications from JSON databases and sysfs, and detection of API capabilities (Vulkan, OpenCL, CUDA, etc.) through a modular probe system. The application follows the MVVM pattern with Avalonia UI and features a sidecar process for NVIDIA-specific NVAPI/NVML interactions to ensure stability and isolate native interop. Hardware detection relies on sysfs paths, external tool execution, and vendor-specific databases, with user override capabilities for hardware specifications. The modular design separates concerns into probes for hardware polling, advanced providers for feature detection, and utilities for common tasks like settings management and shell command execution.
