![]() ABOUT THE PC PULSE INDICATOR The little heart indicates whether or not your system CPU and RAM are overloaded. Every 30 seconds the system has a PULSE that Pocket Rocket Linux detects. 30 seconds is a long time between pulses; any computer - new or old - should be able to do that. There are a few tools for you to check on the current system status.
So if the pulse is late, there is a good chance your system may be overloaded or locked up/frozen. This can happen if you run a lot of applications, stuff a lot of data into RAM and open a lot of videos - all at once. You might say you would never do this, but we do: we test Pocket Rocket Linux by stressing the software to the max until it breaks, and then we write utilities to unwind the stress and fix CPU and RAM problems so you always have a fast, responsive PC.

ABOUT THE COLORS
In Windows, this was called "THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH", and usually Windows was frozen/locked up and you had to reboot your PC. In Pocket Rocket Linux, we catch those CPU and memory problems early and instead of freezing up, we recover - gracefully. All of your open Word Processing files and spreadsheets stay open; you don't lose any data. Your internet connection stays connected, but the browser windows will reset. This is a safety feature that prevents a malicious web site from grabbing your system. If it does that, the heart will probably turn black, your DESKTOP will reset, and the browser windows will close and reset.
