Attach GDB Dashboard to a small program with a known crash. Step through the failure and see whether registers, source, stack, memory, and breakpoints are visible without distracting you from the cause. Then repeat over the terminal connection you actually use, including a narrower screen.
Keep a plain GDB command path available; a dashboard should enhance debugging, not make it dependent on a specific terminal setup. Test compatibility with your GDB version and team configuration before recommending it broadly.
