Is conky still a thing? I used it for that when I used an exclusively passive cooled PC a few years ago. You were able to easily create bar graphs in a config file and even include output of commands.

On KDE there's System Monitor, which you can customize to show graphs for CPU usage and temp, among other things, and GPU usage and temp too.

For in-game monitoring there's Mangohud, also very customizable on what you can show in the overlay

I currently use a combo of btop and radeontop for this. For GPU monitoring I've also used nvtop.

Nvtop is really solid. I like that it can show hardware encode/decode percentages too.

and NVTop shows on which GPU the process is situated, which is invaluable if you have multiple GPUs.

I use "GtkStressTesting" for tracking system's health, although it's actually a Benchmarking tool.

Resources is a nice aio flatpak for system monitoring.

If you're using an amd gpu, corectrl gives you a ton of info and controls.

Mission Control looks pretty nice, it tries to resemble the Windows Task Manager really closely so it's great if you are switching from Windows

This looks great! They even figured out Intel GPU and per-process GPU support.

I use the xfce CPU graph plugin for the CPU... don't use anything for GPU, I don't game and all my rigs run on onboard GPUs. There is also a temp plugin for xfce, I use that one as well, can't remember the name now though... it requires libsensors to work.

bpytop is very nice and functional. Maximize the window and it almost hypnotic to watch.

I like ksysguard, comes with basic system monitoring screens and is very configurable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
