It would really be nice to not have to require a daemon to make this program useful

Ya. The joy of cpu-z is that its a single small binary.

At least in the Flatpak, it can be started by just clicking the "Start daemon" button.

the daemon separates userspace from root domain, and ensures that the code running with root privileges is very small and easily auditable

I use it without the daemon. I don't even know what the daemon does.

The tool hardinfo2 works pretty well for system stats. Somewhat similar to hwinfo64 on windows.

Very nice.

On a side note, and not wanting to criticize the people spend their time working on something like this, that UI is the main reason why I still use Windows and macOS. Light grey on a white background, dark grey on a that blue background, a black AMD logo on a dark grey background, the padding around the text inside boxes...

I feel bad saying this when it's a free tool, but it's a shame that open source projects struggle so much with UI stuff.
