In Windows there's the EventViewer
Is there a "homonym" to EventViewer in Linux?
I mean a nice GUI that surfaces all the logs into a nice browsable graphical interface that a noob can parse and make sense of stuff.
@phaedral OH! This is VERY nice, thanks!
However, HTOP is more like the Windows TaskManager it shows the current running processes...
Want I wanted was more like a log viewer... In this sense Linux Mint includes the aptly named Logs, which is very functional. I thought maybe there would be something else out there that people might recommend.
@afreytes depends on your needs.
None of my suggestions are gui but you could run journalctl, which is I believe the all in one system for logs these days. dmesg is another one. Most logs are saved in /var/log regardless and syslog (under /var/log) is a classic (but debian uses journalctl these days it seems if you use that)
Hope that helps lol.
Edit: boosted this cause I'm also curious
@afreytes I do not know of any specific GUI tools, but the keyword here is "system journal", commonly used through the journalctl
command.
@afreytes in addition to what others mentioned there's a bunch of files in /var/log that contain all kinds of logs for random things
