System Monitoring Center

System Monitoring Center is exactly what it sounds like! It's an open-source app packed with features, designed to help you keep an eye on all the important system resources for Linux.

Why Use System Monitoring Center?

Most popular Linux distributions come with decent default monitoring tools. They do a pretty good job of showing how your system uses hardware resources. However, these tools are usually made for regular users and don't have all the advanced features that some might need.

Missing Features

For instance, many default tools don't even show CPU frequency! That's where System Monitoring Center steps in. It gives you more detailed insights!

A Stylish Look

Now, I know looks aren't everything, but let's be honest; a nice interface makes everything better. SMC is built using GTK3 and Python 3, which means it's not just lightweight and fast—it also looks pretty cool! It can easily match your system's theme, making it visually appealing.

Customization at Your Fingertips

This app is surprisingly customizable. You get tons of options and settings for each tab, letting you tailor it to suit your needs perfectly.

Dive into Your System's Stats

The best part about using System Monitoring Center? It gives you a clearer picture of what's happening in your system. You can check separate stats for RAM, CPU, GPU, Disk, and Network usage—all in one place!

User-Friendly Features

You can see average usage or usage per core, control how precise CPU frequencies are displayed, filter processes by user—and even manage them! Plus, you can oversee startup services and apps right from the app.

Additional Controls

The tool lets you adjust the update interval and pick which hardware options to monitor—like CPU cores or GPUs. You can even toggle a floating summary widget if that's your thing! And guess what? It supports ARM architecture too!

A Bright Future Ahead

Even though System Monitoring Center is still new on the scene and has room to grow (hopefully), it's definitely worth checking out if you're serious about performance on Linux. Whether it's for aesthetics or powerful customization options—or just to cut down on other Terminal tools—this app has got something for everyone!
