Summary
GLava adds some candy to your Linux desktop. It’s not the type of application that’s ever going to set the world on fire. But if it offers a bit of harmless entertainment, what harm can it do?
Some people find audio visualizers relaxing, stimulating, or therapeutic to watch psychedelic displays. If you fall into this category, give GLava a whirl.
OK, the software does consume CPU cycles. The windowed mode consumes 30-40% of one of the cores of a reasonably powerful i5 CPU. And that takes into account that the GPU is taking some of the load (yes, the software uses hardware graphics acceleration).
