Featurewise doesn't this do a subset of what of cockpit offers? (never used either but it sounds like they do some of the same stuff). Cockpit having the advantage of being available through all major distros repos and being backed by Red Hat.

Yeah, although Cockpit is a web UI thing, while systemd pilot looks like a proper GTK app.

Funny, I just uninstalled version 3 less than a week ago thinking that it was too plain and not that useful, but this new version 4.2.1 has a bunch of useful features, and makes it easy to look through journal entries as well.

This is a desktop app, unlike cockpit. It's focused on speed and simplicity.

Also the AppImage and Flatpak should run on any distro, and a flathub build is planned as well.

Yeah the UI was very basic and I hadn't updated it for almost 2 years. Please feel free to report any issues, and feedback is always welcome!
